Nits make lice

[ailbhe]

I went to Boots to buy an electronic comb but it wasn't suitable for use on very small children so I got a Nitty Gritty, with which I have already tortured Rob. Now his head is clear I'm about to give him a buzz with the clippers, which should solve THAT part of the problem at least.

It's funny, he hardly noticed them but Linnea was madly itchy and covered in little sores from them.

I tried an electronic one, and found it useless.

Interesting. We found it to be better than anything else we tried.

(I'll also admit I'm interested in the definition of "small child", re the unsuitableness for "small children" thereof.)

Never for under threes and not frequently on under fives. It didn't say why.

We will get one - it was what I wanted - but not this month. It would be much much easier to treat Rob with one. Finecombing him is *awful*.

I found it just got tangled in the hair, as, of course, it can only be used on dry hair - see my userpic for view of the sort of hair x3 people, I was dealing with

Ah, yes, I can see how that would be a challenge. :)

I love our nitty gritty, it works very well too. It also leaves my hair very soft & shiny the next day when I use it just as a precaution.

I react badly to bites, but my children don't seem to notice them. The good thing about this is that I know immediately if a louse hops aboard!

When the cats brought fleas home, my landlord remained oblivious while I removed most of the skin from my ankles.
