We have lice again !!! My sister & her kids -& I have been dealing with this since MAY !!! We've done everything - Lice Shampoo, Nit picking with the nit comb- everyday !!!
We washed everything in the house -several times including the sofa covers - all in HOT water
We threw away some stuff -like stuffed animals
We vacumed the house -vacumed the car
Washed all the baby's stuff like the carseat pad - the walker liner - everything you can think of
We even used alternative home remedies -like rinsing our hair in vinegar & other things
We first got it in May then it was gone -it came back in July then it was gone again & now is back in September !!! WTH !!!
I did a search & there are products out there that claim to melt the glue that holds the nits onto the hair shaft -but they are expensive
Is there anything out there that will do that but isn't expensive
& what about that magnetic Lice killer Rombi Lice Comb ?? Does it work ?? PLEASE HELP !! SO FRUSTERATED - IN TEARS !!!

My Sisters daughter (baby)got it from her cousin - The cousin never got it again -no one in that family has it anymore - No one at the school has it -no one at our jobs has it - We have asked -
I believe the Lice Shampoos are defective or something - I have heard that Lice are becoming immune to the pesticide in the shampoo - I believe thats what we are experiencing - Something is just not right - I dont know -
Its got us going CRAZY - I'm seriously LOSING MY MIND over this crap !!!
Me & My sister have been CRYING for months everytime it comes back -we scream !!! We just want our normal lives back - Its horrible -we havent gone around our friends in months because we dont want to give it to them -
We even went to the Dr. & he checked our heads to make sure it was gone - he said it was clear -now 2 months later its back !!!
We both have Beautiful Waist length hair
we are afriad we are going to have to cut it all off !!!!!
WERE DEVASTATED !!!!

Did the vinegar
Did the olive oil,
We even bought thinning Shears -(Special Razor toothed Scissors) used to thin out the thickness of your hair
It thinned out our hair so that we had less to comb through -we thought that would make a difference -but I guess it didn't !
I even put gobs of Coconut oil in my hair & it just left me with an oily mess - but still got lice on top of the oily hair !!!
These Lice are Indestructable !!!!

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU TRY ANYTHING ELSE. RECENTLY A PHYSICIAN IN THE UNITED STATES WAS PROFESSIONALLY OSTRACIZED BECAUSE HE WAS SELLING A SPECIAL REMEDY FOR HEAD LICE. THE PRODUCT WHICH HE DISTRIBUTED FROM HIS OFFICE WAS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. HE TOLD THE MOTHERS TO PUT IT ON THE HEADS AND LET IT DRY, THEN WASH IT OUT. WHY WAS HE OSTRACIZED? BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THE PRODUCT WAS SIMPLE CETAPHIL CLEANSING LOTION AND HE HAD REFUSED TO REVEAL THE FORMULA. IT IS CHEAP, NONTOXIC AND IT WORKS. THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR LITTLE EPIDEMIC IS THAT YOU NEVER GOT RID OF THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOUR CHILDREN ARE PROBABLY PICKING THEM UP AT SCHOOL EVEN IF ONLY ONE CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL. GO TO SCHOOL AND DEMAND THAT THE NURSE INSPECT EVERY CHILD. YOU WILL FIND CHILDREN SO LOUSED UP THAT THEIR HAIR IS STIFF. THEIR PARENTS ARE TOO BUSY TO NOTICE THEIR CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING. IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY YOU MUST TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THE OTHER CHILDREN IN YOUR CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENT. BELIEVE ME, I DID THIS!!! I WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND INSPECTED THE CHILDREN MYSELF. THE UPPER CLASS AREA SCHOOL WAS A SEA OF LICE. AFTER THE EXPOSURE AND SUBSEQUENT HUMILIATION OF ALL THE GOOD FAMILIES, INCLUDING THE RABBI'S DAUGHTERS MY CHILDREN NEVER HAD ANOTHER OUTBREAK!!!

You are probably getting the lice from her kids. Adults who aren't around kids much rarely get lice.
The best thing you can do is to cut the kids hair quite short or else put it in a bun or braid. Never let them wear their hair down to school. Kids are very closely involved with each other physically during playing and its very easy for them to continue catching it.
It sounds like you are getting rid of the lice ok, but they keep coming back. If you can talk to the kids about safety habits on how not to catch lice (no brush /comb sharing, ascessories in hair, touching anyones hair, washing hands frequently) and do something with their hair as mentioned above, it should help the problem.
Keep things clean, including the house at all times and it will prevent more lice eggs from hatching and getting on you.
OK HERE IS AND ADDED DETAIL: I had lice when i was teaching school, and the lice were resistant to the kind at the drug store so i had to buy a dr. prescription for Ovide sollution. They were gone after that for good. Previously i tried Nix 2 times and they were still alive!

My kids had lice last year. I know how awful it is!
I was told that when you wash thier hair, shampoo then conditioner, but leave the conditioner in and use a nit comb to brush through the hair. I did this every night til all the nits and eggs were gone. After that I only use shampoo and conditioner on the kids hair that contains TEA TREE this is something that the lice don't like. Up to now it has worked and we haven't had a reoccurence.
Also make sure that when kids go to school, if they are girls that they aren't doing their friends hair and swopping bobbles and stuff like that. I hope this helps, Good Luck!!

Yes you are correct, God said He will not flood the earth again, but He did say this time it will be by fire. Why did He say this? Because of the sinfulness of man. You see He did a very great thing for us, by leaving His heaven and being born to us through a virgin. And at the age of 30 He was baptised by His servant John the Baptist where all the sins of the world were laid upon Him, and only then did He take them to the Cross where He paid for them with His very lifeblood. So because people will not believe in His full and complete atonement for our sins (1 John 5:6-11) His fury will be unleashed upon this earth burning it up. I have Free Christian Books that will explain everything...just ask

try a lot of baby oil. drench your hair in it. it will kill the live ones,but you will still have to pick out the eggs. Did you wash everything in clorox? If your doing all you have said, your doing the right things. Then the problem might be someone your around thats not. maybe someone the kids sit next to at school, a coworker? ask around or keep your ears open see if anyone else is having trouble with it. Good luck with it. Been there its tough.

Maybe its not your house they are coming from. If you are doing all of these things then someone else is bringing it into your home or you are getting it from some one elses home or even at work. You can actually pick lice up anywhere. Even a movie theater from the seat or head rest. Think about what you are doing outside your home to be bringing it back in each time. GOOD LUCK.

My daughter had lice for just about two solid years!!!! I know you said you've cleaned your house and what not, but you have to keep doing it like every day!! So i reccomend making the job easier on your self, like getting plastic, matress and pillow covers to go under the sheets and pillow cases, that way you don't have to vaccume the matresses everyday, you can just wash the sheets. Take ALL the stuffed animals, dolls with hair, etc, and put them into trashbags, and tie them shut and put them in an out of the way place like the garage, ahd keep them up for at least three weeks. you might consider cutting your childs hair so that it doesn't take quite so long to comb through, but do continue to do that on a daily basis. and i used olive oil to soak her hair in with a shower cap on it for an hour,,,,,it worked for me, just don't get discouraged, i know it's hard not to but you will get through it it will just take some time!!!!

Shave or buzz cut. I'm serious. It works. Our kindergarten was infested by lice at one point. This was the only solution that finally worked. Yeah, other kids still had them, but when lice have nothing to hold on to - they don't go to your house anymore.
Run every piece of fabric through dry cleaners or thrugh hot dryer.

Maybe it is not getting rid of the lice that is your problem - I mean, obviously you are getting rid of them but they keep coming back - maybe you should try avioding close contact with anyone you suspect to have lice or any animals.....
If it carries on though I would consult a doctor..

put olive oil or other cooking oil in the hair, wrap it up with platic wrap and leave it on over night, then wash your hair.
A gal that I know who works at a shelter says that they do this to those who come in with lice and it works.
