(Should this be in Body Business? I was unsure.)
Okay so my 10 year old son comes home from school today and says his head is really itchy and he found a bug (!!) in it. So, I calmly did a quick check, and yep. He has lice. (I also have 3 younger girls, all with fairly long hair). I just ran to Target and grabbed a bunch of the Rid shampoo and some spray for furniture etc. Now i know I'm supposed to wash all bedding, hats, etc in hot water and all that. I've never had this happen before, anyone have any extra suggestions? I'm gonna go ahead and treat all 3 girls and the wife as well just in case. I'm bald, so I aint too terribly worried about my noggin. Any info from anyone who may have gone through this would be groovy, thanks.

Now that is shameful!
I washed my hair with Rid, stayed home the next day and washed all my clothes and sheets, put anything that I couldn't put in the washer (eg, my backpack) in a plastic bag for a month, and went through EVERY strand of hair to make sure the eggs were gone. Then, I re washed my hair with RID a couple more times, sprayed the carpet with that lice killer Rid makes... that got rid of them... but it DID take me all day!! The horror!
