[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 64747"] They are also seeing a super lice, if you will, and RID and the other products you normally buy aren't effective like they used to be. We had this happen when difficult child was 4. easy child brought them home from his dad's (his step-sister picked them up from camp) and by the time we knew about it, difficult child had them, too. For 6 weeks, I vacuumed every inch of my house, including baseboards and furniture daily. I sprayed my house. I washed bedding everyday. Sealed up stuffed animals, etc. Went through the kids hair every single day. Spent a ton of money on products at the pharmacy and even a prescription treatment from the pediatrician. We could not get rid of them. I finally found an article in an obscure neighborhood paper written by a school nurse. If you have a Sally's nearby, pick up Queen Helene's Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment. It comes in a tub and looks and smells like Triple Lanolin lotion. It contains a derivative of coconut oil which is toxic to lice. Coat the hair and leave on for 3 hours with a shower cap. Then rinse. It is a heavy conditioner, so you'll probably want to wash afterward with a clarifying shampoo. It also doesn't kill the nits, so you'll have to go through the hair carefully and repeat the process in a week. Also, shampoos that contain Sodium Laurel (sp) Sulfate (not Sodium Laureth - some shampoos have both, but make sure it has Sodium Laurel Sulfate) repel lice because that ingredient is a derivative of coconut oil. My shampoo had that in it and even though the kids were infested I never had one. If none of you have any lice, then she did not pick it up there. She could have gotten them anywhere - school, movie theater, etc. [/QUOTE]
