Headlice again!

[lars]

Please help dd has headlice again. Really fed up with this. Gone back to school and re-infected.
I have tried almost everything and tea tree does not seem to be working. Any alternatives I can use that might work? Please note she has also used the tea tree spray that you leave in the hair to keep headlice away obviously hasn't worked. larsxx

Lars - I remember you on my previous thread. The only good advice I can give is to buy some lotion called Malathion. We had letters home from dd's school after I had complained that she was being re-infected. I was combing them through nightly for a fortnight and had tried 2 other treatments. Anyway the letter home said that our local health authority only recommended Malathion as the only treatment that actually worked. The other treatments are a waste of money apparently. They also recommended the combing through with conditioner. Malathion is q. expensive at £9 (think you can get it from your gp though!) for 2 applications. It, touch wood, worked for us. You have to leave it on over-night and it is quite strong but than god it did the job! Good luck!!!

Thanks KPB for that. I will try it and hopefully it will keep the beasts at bay. larsxx

Good luck lars, I really hope that it works. I know what a nightmare they can be. Just to warn you that it has quite a strong smell, but it's not too unpleasant.xx

we are going through this but if other parents don't do it it seems pointless.I am combing through with boots leave in tea tree but it is not lasting-it is driving me mad!!!!

I read about a bug busting kit take a look here \linkwww.chc.org/products_kit.cfm{} it's pretty cheap methinks, I've heard people rave about it dunno first hand as have yet to go through this delightful phase dd being all of 13 months at the moment. Good luck hope it helps.
