Can't get rid of LICE! HELP!!!!!

[imcrazy2]

My 3 and a half year old has been battling lice for 6 MONTHS.  We have tried RID, NIX, olive oil, Licefreee, nit-picking by hand (HA, HA, she's 3--she won't even sit still for 5 mins, let alone an hour to go through every strand of hair!!.  Every time I think they are gone, they show back up again.  My other kids are clear, and DH insists he can't find any on me (thought I'm awfully itchy--could be psychological).  Doc is not helpful, says the prescriptions available are not good for kids, (fine, but....)offers no other options, just says to pick them out by hand.  I have plastic on everything, change bedding, bagged up stuffed toys.
I finally got fed up and did a no-no--I double dosed her with RID, and then Nix in one day.  When I went to comb and pick nits, I found several LIVE lice!!!!!!  I realize now that they are resistant mutants, and the chemicals aren't working, so there is no point in continuing to expose her to the chemicals, but what can I do????  I am at my wits end, and she announces to EVERYBODY that she has "buggies" in her hair, as she scratches away.  I am MORTIFIED, and want them GONE.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!!!  Thank You!

It is important that you do not use conditioner before u use the medicated shampoo and not for 2 weeks afterward.  Also equally important to repeat one week later and again no conditioner for 2 weeks later.  All things that you can not wash in hot water you can put in the dryer on high heat for 45 minutes.

I just used a medicated shampoo, then conditioner as a 2 part treatment thinking it would be successful, until.....the following evening I looked at my hair and felt movement in it and started swearing/cussing like never before. I didnt know about the conditioner. Everyday when I shower I use conditioner, but u say none at all? For how long? Why?

Growing up my sisters and I had lice. I remember we tried everything from, mayo, all sorts of lice treatments and olive oil. But it kept coming back! As I got older I realized we can't be "living " like this. So I researched online and found this solution called Licehelp.com. It absolutely works! Its a treatment that is oil based and you leave it in your hair over night every other night for two weeks. The lice suffocate and can't live in the environment of the hair anymore so they fall out, even the nits! You don't have to comb or pick out any of the eggs or lice. It really does work! I am currently using it on my daughter because this is the second time she contacted lice from school. It worked the first time for her as well. I hope this will help everyone

P.S. My friend said to always rinse with vinegar, whether or not they have lice, as the vinegar will prevent the lice from taking up residence.

A lady from El Salvador told me that in her country they rinse the hair in vinegar after washing it and the lice die or go away (I don't know which). I did not try this since I do not know anyone at this time who has head lice. But my husband heard that to get rid of ants you use vinegar. So he sprayed the counter tops with a half vinegar/half water solution and the ants departed, never to return. If it works on ants I should think it would work on lice.
