[QUOTE="Jungleland, post: 161343, member: 4598"] I got 3 foster kids late one night from CPS and the ALL had bad cases of lice. We were up till midnight washing hair, picking out nits. I spent the next week, 3 or 4 times a day, brushing their hair with a nit comb (metal kind, not the cheapy plastic kind) brushing their hair, little tiny areas at a time, picking out the nits and eggs and few stragling live ones. Washed their bedding daily in hot water, bagged up all their stuffed animals for 2 weeks, then only gave them a few, after I washed them. The trick is the follow up, keeping brushing with that nit comb several times every day and making sure to squish anything that comes onto the comb. I used an old toothbrush to clean the comb after every few strokes. VERY time consuming, but we never had another break out. I am sorry you are having to do this!!! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
