[QUOTE="Shari, post: 65635, member: 1848"] Well, as I suspected, easy child 2's mom won't let her come back for her last week with us (during the summer, we alternate weeks). School starts next week, anyway, so we're not going to argue (this woman is a difficult child from way back, I think - her own parents are afraid of her wrath (and will not stand up to her on anything)). But, we're going to use this to our advantage. easy child 2's room was cleaned, bagged, sprayed, washed, etc, and closed up when she went back to mom's last time (Aug 5). She is supposed to start the "school year" visit schedule and come for the night this Wednesday, Aug 15, however, we're going to call and ask her grandma (mom's mom) to keep her that night, as well (under the pretense of we'll be out of town or something). So she will not be here again until Aug 22. That will be 17 days her room will be without a "host", so unless they've found someone else to live on (which so far the rest of us don't have them), that should be long enough for anything that was alive to die, and that was an egg to have hatched and died. Plus we've left the a/c on in her room so its below 70 in there. Going to stop by the doctor and make sure this is sufficient for him to say they're gone, and that should be sufficient for mom. As for the issue of the "stigma" that goes with lice, for years, I thought it was a "dirty" problem, or, like you said Marge, a poor problem. However, the only people I've ever known to have lice didn't fit either of those categories at all. In fact, one family I know had them are probably the cleanest people I know, too. [/QUOTE]
