Question:
tried all headmarks stuff
vinegar in water
repellents
constant combing with nit comb
the scool have been informed
she has long hair and does not want to have it cut - she has given them to me in the past and i have very short hair.

Answers:
Go to the MD, there is a prescription strength pesticide that you can get. Be very careful with it though! Also, you MUST bag and wash everything in the house if possible, all upholstered furniture and beds must be sprayed with insecticide, clean entire house from top to bottom, do not miss anything! Alternately, go somewhere else for about 10 days, lice need humans to feed on and if they cannot eat they will starve to death, 10 days because by then the nits that are in bedding, couches and carpets will have hatched and starved too.
I dont no what to do but man I feel sorry for her!
