I also got head lice from my kids many years ago. After spending an ENTIRE day washing 2 kids hair and picking nits, I went to the bathroom to get ready to go out to dinner with the fam and watched a bug run through my hair. I stayed home, skipped dinner, and worked on my own hair, which happened to be long enough to sit on. Then I changed every bed, stored stuffed lovies and fumigated the house. I was not going through that again!
My daughter sat next to the girl who is the one that kept getting re-infested. I’m thinking school nurses should really stress the fact that you have to do the house cleaning as well.
