[quote=Anonymous]Oh God, I have been there with lice...
The shampoos do mainly work to kill the live lice that are crawling around.
However, they are not foolproof against the eggs (nits). 
Therefore, you must comb. And comb. And comb. For several weeks. Using conditioner and a good lice comb. 
If you insisted that kids with nits could not come to school, kids would be out for weeks. Which is pointless because they're not going to give it to anyone.

If people just do the shampoo and comb with the lousy (ha) plastic comb that comes in the shampoo box, no way they are getting rid of their lice!!

The lice lady may correct me, but by the time you start itching, the lice have been there for a while...even months...for the population to build up to where you notice it. So someone who does the lice treatment and "gets" lice "again" weeks later probably just never fully got rid of their own lice.

Having been through that fiasco, we have a lice comb and conditioner and make it a weekly habit to just do a quick comb through to check for lice. [/quote]
