Thanks to jogmom for this fantastic "natural" lice treatment. We can add the following to our list:

Vaseline (saturate hair & scalp)
shower caps (keep on vaselined hair for 4 hours)
Prell shampoo (shampoo)
vinegar (rinse after shampoo)
nit comb

Let's add this info to the Sticky just created at the beggining of the Forum for Camp Nurses. I will take care of it.

I too am going to be a camp nurse-only for a week though. I could use some tips for passing meds-where can I find the "old med trays with individual cup holders?" Putting them on a big tray doesn't work well, especially on a windy day.

We use coin envelopes for passing meds and it has worked well for us for the past few summers. The outside of the envelope is labeled with the campers name, cabin number, counselor name and medications that are in the envelope (we use a different envelope for each med time) and then clip it shut with a paper clip. We can use the same envelope all week. You can get a big box of them at any office supply store.

How do you use rubbing alcohol to dry up water in the ears? Maybe dip it in alchol with Q-tips and then use it? This is something good to know but have never tried it.

I like to use white Elmers glue for splinters. Dab a little on the spot, let it harden, and peel it off. The splinter almost always comes out attached to the glue.
