Nits

2 replies

My child is 6 and for the first time in her life I think she's got nits. When I realised (itching) I could see white specks in her hair which I now think were/are eggs. I gave her a bath and did the nitty gritty comb.

I will do it again tomorrow. I'm very worried I won't get them all

Also I'm worried I'll get them. Should I do nitty gritty on me??

Did you get lice out when you used the comb? Yes you should check your own hair

To be honest they looked like teeny specks of dirt on the tissue when I got them out. I presume that they're nits as she's itching
