Damn, missed most of it. It had tea tree, neem and some other things (looked like lavender but I missed what he said).
Did anyone else catch it?

Have just discovered 2 nits in ds's hair. Just found nit treatment in cupboard is over-night stuff which needs to dry before going to bed. Damn, too late now!

I'm sitting here with hedrin on my head as we speak. DD came home with her first epsiode of nits earlier along with a vomiting bug. 2 weeks ago we had our first experience of threadworms. What joy!

Clayre - I know it while since you posted. When you say your DD allergic to nits what does this look like? does she get hives?

Elibean · 23/02/2010 13:50

marie, I hear your frustration. One of dd's friends gets them several times per term, and it drives her poor mum mad.

Does your dd have her hair tied back/short, and do you use repellent sprays? I've no idea if its made a difference, or maybe its just luck, but I've sprayed dd's hair with Vosene nit-repelling spray stuff every day and plaited it. So far, so good (Y1). Though like I say, its just as likely to be luck

Are you sure you are getting rid of them each time?
