Head lice

Does mayo actually work? Last year all three of my girls (with biracial long curly hair, it was a mess) got lice from school and I had to get the expensive treatments, twice cause you have to retreat.

We used a spray that came with the box but you can buy it seperatly if you want to spray things like the couch, and don't forget to wash the coats and boil combs if you can or replace.

We unfortunately went thru this last year and used vinegar concoction and some expensive stuff my neighbor had got online and they didn't work, so we did mayo and it worked. I did the mayo then repeated for three days and did it again a week later. Plus washed all stuffed animals/furry stuff at the laundry mat and ruined all her soft stuffed animals, that's why bagging them this time.

I just got done doing my sons hair and found three

more "things", first I thought just the eggs, but now I am wondering if its nymphs since they are dark in color, not clear? They were attached to hair shaft.

We unfortunately did this last year and used vinegar mixture, expensive stuff my neighbor had got on the Internet and neither worked. So we did mayo for 3 days and repeated in 7 days and it worked. Thanks for the reminder about our coats!!

One of my parents did olive oil, wrapped heads in ceran wrap for 3 hrs. She said it killed everything on her daughter and her own head.

when I found all the girls with it, I just shaved my son's head. He has really short hair anyway but I just didn't want to put chemicals in someone's head if I didn't have to.
