An honest and polite opinion on family argument over head lice?

My eldest step grand daughter, who is 12 has lice all the time. Literally, she'll wait until they are eating her scalp alive before she says a word and by then her younger half brother, sister, step-mother (my daughter) and father have lice too. Her younger siblings aren't old enough for school yet and have little contact with other children outside their older sister and a few cousins who've never had lice. Yet her mother blames the little ones for her constantly getting lice. How can I or any of us nicely tell her mother it might be the other way around? Both sides are threatening to keep these kids apart and this situation is getting totally out of control. Her mother won't believe she gets them at a 'nice, clean public school'! Help please? Rude and unrelated answers WILL be reported. BTW her mother is loved like part of the family just as her daughter is. Thanks in advance.

Update:

My daughter and her husband do everything right and get rid of the lice, but every other weekend with my step grand daughter stays with them, the little ones (ages 2 & 4) have them again.

    You don't get head lice from being dirty. You get it from your hair being too clean. She needs to bomb the house, put stuffed animals in bags and leave them for a few weeks. She needs to pull the girls hair up, if it's long and also put hairspray or gel in it. That's what the doctor told us. Sister got it six times in one year from school

    I guess you should tell the mother that she got them from school. Ask the daughter if she remembers anyone having lice at school, and maybe get the school to check people if there's an outbreak. Also if she takes the proper measures I don't think she'll spread it to the sisters, keep them out of her bed and clothes though.

    My dear friend,All of your family should better shampoo to wash your hair.In this age if you can get some medical treatment. And teachers and staff can not prevent anybody from attending school and how they will know if somebody has lice.All students go to their home and mingle with their neighbours and their children so it is possible that they will get lice.Please note that prevention is better than cure.So use shampoo daily if need be and you and your family will not have any lice.
