Answers:
We had this continuing problem with my daughters, too. Speak to the teacher to make sure all the parents know that this is a problem in the class and ask the teacher to have all the children place their jackets/sweaters into plastic bags when they arrive at school (so the nits don't get the chance to jump from the other kids' clothing).

Don't forget to wash all her bedding and any hats she has worn and get her a new pillow. Place any of her "blankies" or any stuffed animals she sleeps with into plastic bags for 48 hours if they can't be washed without ruining them.

When she goes to school, make sure you place her jacket or sweater in a plastic bag before you hang it up (even if the other parents aren't doing this).. When she comes home, do the same thing.

Don't use lice medication on her hair too often and don't leave it on too long during a treatment. I found it helped to use an excessive amount of conditioner on her hair before using the lice shampoo.

If she is uses a car seat, don't forget to place the seat in a large plastic bag for 48 hours before using it again. Anything she puts her head against (chairs, sofas) should be covered with plastic after you have treated her hair.

Good luck! (My daughters got head lice from the backrests of air plane seats on our way to Florida for vacation -- what a nightmare!)
