Back to School Nightmares: Lice

The back to school part of the year is full of both joy and anxiety, for the children and the parents. It's also full of cooties.

 School means contact, contact means sharing and sharing isn’t just about toys. Since children don’t have to be reminded to share when it comes to their diseases and colds and due to the near quarantine conditions required to remove the little buggers, finding out your child has head lice is one of the most dreaded discoveries a parent can make.

 Babble has 7 tips to treating Head Lice, including the pros and cons of each, from all natural shampoos to professional exterminations.

 Like the Chicken-pox, head lice are something almost every child goes through. What did you find worked best to rid your child of the little cooties? What didn’t? Any horror stories? Tell us in the comments.
