those nasty little critters?
my children and I have been battling head lice since may. my dr is at a point where he will not prescribe any more meds and the school is saying if they are not gone by monday that my daughter will have to be home tutored. we have tried everything from meds to mayo to castor oil. I even called the board of health and they dont know what to do. I have lost my job over this as well because I had to miss work to be home with my children. I even tried an exterminator. The only luck Ive had is a dermatologist, but he cant get us in until 2 weeks from now. Does anyone know anything else that I could possibly try? The little girl that they got it from has been battling for over 2 years - that cant be us. Please help

Im sure you know to wash all bedding, pillows ect... rent a capet shampooer and wash all your furniture and capets. theres this thing called the robi comb you can find it at walmart i think,its a comb that electrocutes everything but you. try using ivory clear (make sure its the clear stuff) dish soap on your heads (lather really thick) but leave it on for a hr and a half oh and put a plastic bag over there hair so the soap dont dry, then comb through your hair with the nit comb. do this everyday for a week. My cousin went through this 3 years ago and her mom didn't know what to do either, she did what i told you and shes never had a problem since. when they do go back to school put there hair in tight ponytails.
