[blparent] help with mutent lice

Thu Feb 9 13:10:39 UTC 2012

Oh and by the way, I'm not sure about decting them without sight, you can't 
really feel them I don't think, they're so small, the eggs and the bugs, I 
bought a comb that was supposed to zap at the detection of at least live 
lice but it zapped all the time, even when not in hair.  So with me I guess 
I never found a way to do it without sight.  I just used my daughter and 
when we'd comb through her hair I'd ask her to look through the comb, I 
can't remember how old your daughter is if this will work or not.

Did you pick her up from daycare?  If so, then the daycare needs to be
notified as well as all the parents.  Unfortunately, they spread like
wildfire.  Nits used to be thought to have come from unkept or unclean hair
but over the years it has been found that that is not the case.  They just
are, like ants, they just seem to appear and hopefully you will find the
cause of them soon.  It might be  that you get rid of them and then your
baby picks up that certain toy and wala, back again.  That is what happened
with my friends kids.  She thought they were gone and then in a day or 2
they were back and come to find out, they were in the mattress and on the
headrest in the car. So she just kept getting them again and again.  When
they finally sprayed those items, the lice went away.
I am not much for chemicals, but in this case, chemicals is what you need.

My oldest got it the first time at a winter camp.  I got rid of them fast
cleened, shampued and did all of what I am doing now and it worked.  But
this time its not and I just picked up the baby and she has nits.  I can't
aford to take them to this place to have them treated so I'm stuck fixing it
myseolf.

But I don't know what elce to try.  I spoke with their docter and she just
told me to treat them again.  So I have gotten no answers except that at
some point they'll die.
