The "Orange County" employee should be fired. You need to learn how to think if you're making decisions about kids. You expect us to believe that you don't know how to send out a letter such as naimasluv describes? It is CommonSense 101.

Only jenny b and naimasluv are legit here--other posts are an attempt to sell crap products.

Plenty of cheap home remedies work: combos of tea tree oil, peppermint oil and mayo; brand-name mouthwash; conditioner slathered on--all picked through with fine-toothed lice combs. Vacuum living areas, throw away vacuum bag. Wash laundry; bag up stuffed animals/plush toys in plastic for a month or so.

Search "lice" and "home remedies" to get tons of ideas. Store-bought doesn't work; only killing the adult lice/nymphs and removing the eggs (nits) and breaking the louse's lifecycle does.

Cheeck out University of Nebraska's cooperative extension info on this subject, and don't get too broke or stressed over this ancient, universal, TEMPORARY problem.
