Hi Stacey,
I can't give you advice from experience as I haven't been there, but you are definately doing the right thing going to the doctors. If you can get hold of your doctors surgery before you do the school run ask them for advice about Harry.
Let us know how you get on.

You need to boil wash all bedding, pyjamas and underwear. Make sure ALL nails are very very short so nothing can get down them. Separate towels for everyone until its all cleared.
Be VERY VERY strict about washing hands after toilet times and before meals etc (I am strict but my boys do try to evade washing)
I don't think your tiny little one can be treated with the medication but I'm not 100% sure so best to ask your gp.
The worms come out at night in the dark so thats when the children itch their bum without reaslising. Vaseline on the bum works as the worms can't bite cos its so slippy. Apply it with a cotton bud covering the *centre*
Hope this has helped......can you tell I've had this problem a few times!
I must admit I wouldn't have known what to do but I do now.
Cut all the kids nails short as this will help to stop them being passed on.
Get advice regarding Benjamin as I doubt he will be able to be treated, but it's probably highly unlikely that he would as our son didn't and no-one else that we know to.
Take care x x
I can't believe the Head wants proof, she should be thanking you for your honesty. Lets face it there are people out there who would keep quiet and send there kids.
Hope Benjamin manages to avoid getting them.
Take care, Zoe xx
anyway hope your all better soon.
we just got a letter from the school on fri to say ther's head lice going round. school ages eh?
btw, do worms come from pets? how do people catch them?
Worms from animals can be passed on but not so easily but in very young children the consequences can be pretty grim so if you have very young children and animals, keep their worming up to date.
Nits are my particular nightmare, my niece and nephew were always riddled with them, I remember going out on Xmas day to a pharmacy to get something to wash them in as they'd come to stay with me and my parents. My niece had her long curly hair cut off most times she came to stay as it was the easiest way to get rid of them. They made me feel physically sick! I check Bon almost every day.
i can't do it my self as i come out in a rash off her when i try (allergys) and hubby won't help me.
going to have to get some help soon with it
