head lice

There is some none toxic lice shampoos. I don't know if they are safe either. I'd call your doctor.

I have a 6 year old that has had a run in with head lice and thesick kids hospital said that you can use vinegar  and cooking oil it seems to work.

Head lice do not like being disturbed, so you get the metal tooth comb and you comb all the time, you also have to change sheets and pillow cases, its a lot of washing, the lice meds dont always work but combing them out does work, make it a project , get everyone in the family combing she could get infected by others, also keep the combs sanitised...trust me ...comb comb comb and wipe the lice out ...
