Our boy had it really bad when he was about 4 or 5, really bad. And it took a lot of patience and combing from Mrs.T to rid him of the bastids. We did virtually shave his head (a no.1 skinhead cut anyway) which made it easier to see the blighters. He loved his (virtually) bald pate but later reacted vs.it (see picture thread for info). There's just no easy solution, at least not one that works for everyone.

Oh, and I second Jaq's advice. Wash everything. Everything.

Apparently it's not necessary. I change clothes every day (and they do get washed).

Yesterday I found a small one. So that's not as bad as an adult lice as the tiny ones can't lay eggs (yet. -> Proof I'm rapidly becoming an expest on the bastards.

I'll go to the pharmacy to get my hair checked again. (Husband has major visual handicap, so he can't see and is thus pretty relaxed about it. har).

What I did wrong was the haircondictionar method. Basically you use tons of that shit and not wash it out: you comb the lice, eggs and conditioner out. Then and only then you wash the hair. And comb again.

LE FUCKING SIGH.

The only funny thing: Ophelia keeps saying she has MICE in her hair. If only! Would be tons easier. ;-)

Ugh -- daughter was just sent home from school with them. THis weekend is going to suck.

Hah! After all's said and done, I realize it ain't such a big deal. Saying this cause the lice have gone away. As soon as they reappear, I'm gonna go mental again. hah My husband went bananas cause I was constantly hovering around O's head all the time.

They suck badly but kids at a certain age just seem to pick them up on the regular, basically cos there must be some parents out there who don't give a fuck

Yeah, friend of mine works in this centre for abused/mentally handicapped kids. Apparently some kids have it the whole flipping year cause the parents don't give a shit! (This isn't as bad as the abuse she told me about: some kids are physically behind because of the abuse. How sad is that? And also the mental abuse which fucks'em up just as badly. I... words fail me.)

wait til worms happen.

LOL. Rereading the thread, I realize I didn't notice this line... and it did happen! Like a week after the lice. Worms are just god damn awful. Make lice appear like a trivial thing.
