So frustrated. My 7yo had head lice in Jan. We dealt with it and it was over. Went through two weeks of no pillows/everything wrapped in plastic, etc. Have had 7 lice checks in Feb just... (more)
to make sure, and all clear. One was on Tuesday this week. Today she was sent home from school with live lice. WTF????? I've done everything humanly possible. Regular lice shampooing, lice spray on everything, etc. Her sister doesn't have it. I don't have it. And the school nurse has the gall to say to me today (three days after she gave an all clear on Tuesday) "you never really got rid of it." WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF?????
