I have just two words to say today. And after I say them, I want large quantities of chocolate, and a hug.
And offers of cold hard cash would not be out of the question either come to think of it.

- From:Allimom (Legacy)On:Tue May 22 2007I was lucky with my boys, I just shaved their heads. Even then, I still had to go through cleaning all the bedding and beds, stuffed animals, and any piece of cloth covered furniture the kids had sat upon (2 couches and 2 recliners).
I don't envy you at all!

Poor baby. Here's some cyber chocolate and lots of hugs.
Now my head itches. :o( - From:Parett (Legacy)On:Wed May 23 2007Well, THAT'S gratitude for ya!!!
Hey...where's the Hen when you need her? Seems to me she could be pecking away at all those lovely, micro delicacies.
I feel for you. How much cash do you think would do the trick? - From:Bookworm (Legacy)On:Wed May 23 2007No, you don't need to say anymore. Unbelievable. I detest those things with an absolute passion. My suggestion, though I'm sure you've had heaps, is to get hold of some tea tree oil. I'm unsure if this will kill them off, but it will prevent them wanting to come back into their hair. Dilute with some water and spray into their hair each morning. It was the *only* way my kids did not continue to get reinfested with them each day at school. Hope the chocolate helps you. ;-)

My kids got them when we lived in Germany on a Military Base.....Twice!!???!!! yuck.
I did find out that if you use cream rinse on your hair the little "Nits" are easier to get off. I guess the hair is slippery. Of course it only works if you use it "before" the little beasties come to call.
I think you need Death by Chocolate Cake for comfort.

P.S. *throws you a lice comb* - From:ImNotLisa (Legacy)On:Fri May 25 2007I might be late but I can help. Maybe a delayed shipment would assuage any lingering memories?
