[Danhi] Reminder : lice - Just want to bring to your attention

[Michelle Shevlin]

I am sad to report we found knits in Ella's hair last night. We are currently at Elimilice getting rid of it. 

Please check your child ASAP. 

Here are the notes I sent a few weeks ago. 

Embarrassed to send this but it is a reality for us.

DON'T buy "Rid" or "Nix".  We spent $65 on that stuff yesterday but the professional said the lice are pretty much immune to it now.  she said LiceMD sold at Walgreens/RiteAid/Walmart is the best & 100% effective in killing live bugs.  it doesn't kill eggs - those must be removed by hand.  it took about 2.5 hours total for the eggs/nits to be removed.  we had to wash all the bedding in our house, vacuum, etc.  things like pillows that can't be washed can be run in the dryer on HIGH HEAT for at least 20 minutes (we did 40!)  don't forget coats & backpacks, earmuffs, etc.

>>> i hope no one else has it, but please check your children AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.    if you see anything, get LiceMD & use it ASAP.  you can find professionals in atlanta who do nothing but get lice out of a child's hair.  google "atlanta lice" and many names pop up.  the company called "nitpickers" will either come to you, or you can go there.  she also works 24/7, including holidays.  elimilice company has set hours & are usually booked (sadly.)
