They checked my husband and I too and they got rid of her lice in one visit. We went back two times to make sure it was over. That was in March and we have not seen anything since. I know we were lucky but just so you know this nonprofit works with universities and does a lot of clinical research. They have recently published a book and even though they treated my daughter I bought a copy to send to my sister in WI. The book is Lice Advice and it offers plenty of it. It also offers step by step pictures on how they treat children in their offices. In any case as both a mother and a nurse I can't imagine any parent having to deal with head lice without this kind of help.

The problem of returning headlice most often occurs when treatment stops too soon or some clothes, bedsheets and other materials, such as hats, coats etc. are not washed. Treat headlice like germs; most won't kill you, but they an be iradicated with persistence. Dear Hair Dressers & Parents:

We do not know how to get rid of it because anytime it shows up, we do the treatments, and get rid of the nits and eggs, but it keeps coming back. If you have any information on what we can do to get rid of it for good, it would be much appreciated. Hi, we keep having a reoccurring lice infestation.
