[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used LiceMD, which you can find at Harris Teeter.  It's basically dimethicone, and completely safe.  Even better, a study conducted by NIH found that dimethicone was one of the most effective lice treatments out there (along with a good lice comb).  I treated my daughter - who has long, thick hair - and it was gone within a week (actually, the live lice were gone right after treatment, but you have to comb throughout the week to ensure you have removed the eggs.)[/quote]

When she has it again in 3 weeks and you start telling everyone off, know that you are the lazy AH, not them.  [/quote]

PP's treatment sounds effective, actually, as long as she's doing a good job with lice combing to follow up. Application of a smothering product to kill Amy live lice followed by repeated, thorough lice combing should be enough to get rid of them.

What PP did is actually harder than hiring a lice lady (which I also think is a good option). The only "lazy" treatment is to not treat at all or to not bother identifying an effective treatment. Some people cannot afford to hire a lice lady and have to treat themselves -- this doesn't make them lazy and we should actually encourage people sharing effective treatments because the more people who know how to get rid of lice, the better for all of us.

I think the worst thing about lice is the shame around it, which tends to keep people from asking for help when they need it, and that tends to perpetuate lice outbreaks.[/quote]
