DD1 showed all the classic signs of an infestation Friday night so gave her the one Ovex tablet we had in the house treated me and DD2 when could get to the chemist the next day. I washed the bedding etc and the place got a good clean too. However, DD has just pointed out a very definitely live little wiggly fucker in her poo Angry Does that mean the meds haven't worked.

I have spent the morning combing Wankbadgering lice out of DD1 despite using Hedrin last Wednesday. I am about to recomb DD2 and then I am going to paint an "unclean" sign on the door Hmm

Doesn't it take a while for them to definitively go? And you need to treat with a second tablet 2 weeks later to be doubly sure.

That is what I am hoping - that the little sod was expelled in DD2's poo because it was weakened (it looked like it was doing the bastard conga though Angry)

X gave DD2 the meds Saturday night so I think it would have been about 60 hours post meds.

oh I feel for you. THe panda cubs had both nits and threadworms one memorable week. My skin was crawling with the thought of one, and then they had both! Felt very 'unclean!'
