Like we didn't have enough going on, today I found a few lice and nits in my DD's hair. Sure enough, I checked her mop head sister and she had a few as well. I soaked them in olive oil with tea tree oil and they're napping un-happily right now. I'll keep this in as long as I can today and wash out with their shampoo with a few drops of the tea tree oil and comb, comb, comb. Did I mention I'll have to tie them up to comb????? Wish I could lol, but I'm losing it today.
Is it enough to spray lovies with tea tree oil/water mix and wash/dry hot? I've put all their bedding, hoodies and jackets and less played with stuffed critters into plastic garbage bags and tied them closed. I'll give it a week and wash all of that on hot as well. I also sprayed their car seats & stroller down with the same tea tree & water mixture. Is this enough? Should I do anything about their clothing aside from washing?
I am grossed out. They're so young. No idea where they could have gotten it aside from babysitting at the gym. They started 2 weeks ago and won't be back cause they hated it.
Looking for any advice you may have. I'm ordering the Fairy Tales stuff today JIC.
Thanks...give me strength!
ETA: I also sprayed the area rugs, dog bed and my bedding.
