Oh, I can't believe I nearly forgot! Cher forgive me.....
I didn't know laundry detergent takes out bugs!
...or at least her tattooed tush....
My best friend recently had a war between lice and her youngest son. Her oldest got them once; her youngest got them three or four times this summer. She did everything she could think of, and finally got fed up and buzzed his hair down to where she could see the scalp. He's the world's cutest Marine now and lice free.
Thankfully, I've never had a problem with bugs; never had lice, and ticks never bit me, even though they've crawled all over me. My only explanation is fresh, raw garlic. When I was living out on the homestead, I ate garlic every day. Every. Day. I rarely got sick, and bugs didn't seem to like me much. Dunno if you or your kids can stomach the smell or taste of raw garlic, but that herb has about a million medicinal uses. The old wives' miracle plant!

...maybe give you a couple of grins honey....
I was lucky.. my three boys never brought it home from school. Me however, when I was like 9, caught it. Hair down to my bottom. My Mother found them in my head.. she had no clue what they were. Called the pharmacist and asked him " how do you get rid of fleas? My daughter has fleas! " The nice man told her , mam, I don't think your daughter has fleas... she probably has lice. hahahaha Mother ended up cutting all my hair off!! lol
Just right now this very minute I saw a story on the local news, twas about those lice shampoo resistant nasty buggers, evidently the tri-state (Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana) is infested with, da da da-daaaa, "Super Lice", among many many other places
...yyyep yep yep, the meek shall truly inherit the Earth
.
Oh, and they wisely pointed out, don't treat unless they actually got, 'cause if they ain't got and then get, then you help Super Lice lay claim upon the planet.

Anyone else get the urge to scratch their head while reading this thread?
So sorry to hear you're going through all this, Jen.

Hey, yeah! It's all Oprah's fault!
I know they're not the same, but if someone invented a "lice collar" I'd be all over that action right now. We'd all be wearing them!

SuperLice! Someone call Stan Lee!
I've been scratching for a while now. I wish I could get my leg up behind my ear to scratch like dogs do. Then I could type and eat without stopping for each itch!
Stories about the SuperLice are all over the Tv news this morning. Maybe the schools should hand out disposable shower caps as each child returns to school this year.
I've been scratching since page one.
I've already been through the lice thing (again) this year with my daughter. Lots of good advice in this thread.
I remember the good old days at school when the only thing you had to worry about was whether or not the girls had cooties....oh wait!
LOL Just wait till Kurben gets here. He'll ask you if you're referring to tyttöbakteeri?
Got it, Lepplady!
Ah, cooties. Life was simpler then. Before the SuperCooties.
This sounds like I missed a good story. Kurben ?
I didn't know Cher was named after a laundry detergent. Slow learner, me.
