We noticed it when I went to get my hair cut, which they refused to do! Ugh! It was horrible! The kids slept with me a lot, so I got them, too.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506259104411287207.post-25706540192916380832008-07-02T16:56:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:56:00.000-04:00my best friend was the "licey kid" at school so i ...my best friend was the "licey kid" at school so i got them a couple times.it is a little gross, isn't it! lol! just part of life.. thanks for entering my giveaway!Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722529786758973223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506259104411287207.post-82069081340389583792008-07-02T12:38:00.000-04:002008-07-02T12:38:00.000-04:00Boy did your story bring back memories!

I lived in Canada at this time and they have a company called Licesquad. It was the best money I had every spent. Within 3 hours my whole family was lice and nit free. Plus they don't use pesticides! <BR/><BR/>Like you I had just about boiled everything that wasn't nailed down on a daily basis. Found out from Licesqaud that it was not necessary. Plus buying the spray for furniture etc. does absolutely nothing but add more pesticide to the environment. All you have to do is place items in the dryer for 30 minutes or vacuum throughly. If items cannot be vacuumed or placed in the dryer, just leave them alone for 48 hours. (I was previously told by a doctor, to bag everything for 2 weeks). The main thing is that there is nothing that will kill the eggs and they have to be removed manually. They have one of the best combs, called the Terminator! It certainly saved me a lot of time compared to those lousy plastic ones that are really useless. <BR/><BR/>If you need more information, they do have some excellent advice on their website.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04045959746932351319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506259104411287207.post-72894280302333728992008-07-02T12:21:00.000-04:002008-07-02T12:21:00.000-04:00Oh man... been there, done that! It's a nightmare...Oh man... been there, done that! It's a nightmare. With three kids, the oldest is 15, and having run and worked in daycares, I've got a few tricks about this. When you first suspect (i.e. the warning on the door) take olive oil and saturate your child's hair (yours, hubby's... the cat if you're really paranoid ;-D ) then cover with a shower cap. Leave it in for about 12 hours (I usually leave it over night.) then wash out thoroughly. The oil suffocates the lice but it doesn't kill the nits, which is why this works best when as a prevention of infestation. Dipping the nit comb in vinegar and hot water is another helpful trick in getting the nits out. <BR/><BR/>You can only use the chemicals a couple times, but you can use the oil to your hearts content. AND the oil is healthy for your hair. :-D hope that might help!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506259104411287207.post-72995526635127913892008-07-02T01:24:00.000-04:002008-07-02T01:24:00.000-04:00Oh no!...but i do have a quick and EFFECTIVE natur...Oh no!...but i do have a quick and EFFECTIVE natural remedy for head lice...pour baby oil on the affected head and wrap hair in a towel. the oil smothers the lice and they are NO MORE!!!!hope that helps! :)good luck! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506259104411287207.post-20988336403848415122008-07-01T09:36:00.000-04:002008-07-01T09:36:00.000-04:00Oh poor you what a nightmare!
