Awww Glory, no suggestions but lots of hugs!!!
This too shall pass

Argh... I sympathise! I just have to see a fleck of white or hear the word and I get itchy! I swear I saw something moving in my DD hair a few weeks ago and I started searching but there was no other evidence so I am going to just assume that my eyes were deceiving me!

My sympathies. We had multiple lice incidents when the kids were little(separated by years so not reinfestation).

The best advice I got was to not go crazy with laundry and vacuuming. Launder their bedsheets, hats, lovies and vaccuum after the initial infestation but you don't have to keep repeating it over and over. Lice don't live long off the human body and the nits won't hatch except at body temp:

But it's important to get rid of the nits, and many lice have become resistant to pesticides. So after the initial Rid treatment, we sat down every 3 days an methodically combed through my DD's long hair, pinning up the strands and going through with a nit comb. I used mayonaise which is supposed to smother the lice (may be a myth), but also "unglues" the nits. Eventually when there were no nits, I went to once a week, and then a monthly check.

It took a long time, but we put on a video and watched it after dinner while we combed.

Good luck!

Try 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/2 vinegar and about 5 or 6 drops of tea tree oil. This is a treatment. My SIL just went through this with her daughter (from camp too). Also, in the future, if you have any suspicions of her being in contact with lice, wash her hair with tea tree oil shampoo. Lice do not like tea tree oil. You can buy this oil at the drug store I believe.

Been there and done that. My sympathies to anyone who has to deal with this. It was a horrible first (and fingers crossed last) experience for me last year with DD after vacation. I too am itching just thinking about it. After the initial Rid treatment I tried the mayo, but it was gross, smelly and ran into eyes and burned. I coated DD hair with conditioner (bought the giant bottle at Ulta) and combed through with the terminator comb every other day.

Wipe onto paper towels until you see nothing coming off comb except the conditioner. Then rinse (I also rinsed with apple cider vinegar) and blow dry hair. Much nicer than the mayo and worked much better IMO. I also followed up with the Fairy Tales lice repel shampoo (I think it's lavendar and tea tree oil) just in case.
