[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 256043, member: 29023"] Good grief-that American site is enough to panic anyone! :shock: Having had 5 kids myself and am now the grandma to 8 (soon to be 10), this is a little problem I have come across before. The advice we were given was simple and did not include going on a marathon sping clean..I'm amazed at how much has changed! We were told to make sure the childs fingernails were kept short, that good hygiene was adhered too such as using a nail brush when washing hands after using the loo and that bedding was washed on a 60 degree hot cycle. Cuddly toys had to get washed too, separate towels and so on and kiddies must wear pants to bed to discourage scratching. That and the medication that the whole family had to take (whether you had the little critters or not :sick: ) made sure they were eradicated. I hope you wee lass is doing better soon but try not to get too freaked out, they are a common childhood problem at nursery and school together with the other little begars..crawling dandruff! :D [/QUOTE]
