((((((((((((Suzi))))))))))) I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this again. I was just thinking, I know there are "bombs" to get rid of fleas, spiders and roaches. I wonder if they will work on lice? You and the kids do the shampoo treatment then all of you go out for the day. Before you leave activate the "bombs" and when you come back, with any luck that will have killed the lice. Then, strip the sheets and wash them in hot water. Like I said, that's just a thought. You'll need to read the boxes on the "bombs" to see if they mention killing lice, but it couldn't hurt. You've been through so much with this already and it sounds like it's just not getting rid of them from the first or second episode.


Hang in there and keep us posted. Remember we're here for you.


Hugs,
Traci

it's a good idea..i've just been avoiding it b/c of the dog & cat(who btw can't get lice b/c of the oils on their fur)& all the things that are out that i don't even think about & might miss.
my h says it won't be good press for my camp if i am the lice lady & my h wants to let my dd go ahead to a party even tho i don't think it's a good idea.i will definately kibosh the sleepover.
this time i will NOT throw out all our brushes & have them soaking in an alchohol solution.much to my total dismay i tossed the hairpeice i wear for the show that only had to suffer thru one more day of performances.don't know what i'll do but i've really gotten to the point where i have stopped caring.
you know that point?it's total surrender.

BUT it appears my h is a perfect idiot.he has told her she can go as he'll have her picked clean tonite.
i have to tell you i am appalled.if someone were to send a kid to my house knowing they had lice i would hate them forever.
it's one way i'm sure to get a rep as the lice lady.
what a moron i had the misfortune to marry.
