                        I have dealt w/ this unsuccessfully for 2 yrs, off and on each Sept.  If your child is already infected, put olive oil in their hair overnight, continue as long as it takes to kill the lice.  A great preventative measure is to put tea-tree oil in their shampoo.  I do this now the night before the first day of school and use that for about 3 months.  I haven't had a flare up in 2yrs.  Your kids are not dirty and THIS TOO SHALL PASS.  I know it's a nightmare.  I bombed my house and moved into a hotel and spent hundreds of dollars on over the counter meds.  This works and it's inexpensive.  Tree-tree oil can be purchased at any health food store.  Use the concentrate (about 6 drops)  Let me know how you do!!
