Oh no C! It's a shame you couldn't just buzz off their hair, because it would probably be a huge help with treatment. Are there laundry facilities where someone can wash everything they brought with them in hot water?

I would have paid good money for one of those Robicombs a few years back. The two older boys were both sick and then the youngest came downstairs around 11:30pm and said he couldn't sleep because his head itched too much. Yep, and he cried through the head shaving and start of the cleaning process. That got most of them, but of course I was up all night throwing away or bagging up EVERYTHING that we couldn't wash and doing laundry to the point of tears. The next morning we got the Rid stuff and did that.

Same son gets home from Boy Scout Camp this afternoon, and as he's older his hair has darkened quite a bit and it's a lot longer. I tried to get him to cut it before leaving but he refused. Wish me luck that there are no uninvited critters on that child, or he'll have a date with my clippers immediately!
