I don't know what to do. Is there ANYTHING out there that can get rid of head lice? My children are going through hell over this, and being picked on at school.
Pesticides itch and stink and make them cry – and the very next day they come home from school with more lice all over again. Also, nothing seems to do anything about the eggs, which means you have to go on repeating a totally nasty amnd ineffective treatment, that costs a great deal of money and gets you absolutely nowhere.
Please, no old folk remedies, though! We've tried vinegar and brown paper, and someone even suggested paraffin – which is just so dangerous, and about the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
It might sound silly if you haven't been through it yourself, but this really is ruining our family life. How can you hug or play with your children if you are worried about getting (or passing on) these horrible little blood-sucking nits?
I don't care what it costs: just please tell me if there is ANYTHING out there!
