How do I delouse my 8 year old daughter?

Any drug store or even Target or Wal-Mart type store should have some over the counter meds you can use. Nix is one brand but there are several others.

If those don't work you may have to call your doc for one of the prescription ones.

Hey,
Don't forget to wash all clothes, towels, bed sheets, blankets (almost everything) she has had contact with..otherwise they will be back. Wash with hot water and a little bleach. If its colored, and you don't use bleach wash twice. Check her eyebrows also.

Thank you very much for the replies you have given regarding Delousing my daughter. Unfortunately I have done what you both have recommended and I am afraid none of this has worked. But thank you so much for trying to help.

O hope by now that you have this under control. They are nasty varments and you have to work your buttoff to get rid of them but it will work if you keep on top of it. . You need to clean all combs and brushes as well as everthing else as was said before. Sometime the whole family need be done. Hope you are all deloused by now.
