YANBU but not much you can do if the mum can't be bothered except tell your dcs not to touch heads with them! All you lot swearing by the vosene shampoo its much more likely to be the conditioner and the combing through with the nit comb thats keeping the nit comb at bay rather than the actual shampoo.

Vosene | Anti-Dandruff Shampoo : Vosene

I'm in Scotland . Up here you just take the lousy child to,chemist and the give you the stuff...have to be registered with the children's minorn ailments scheme, not sure how it works down in England.Dd4 (asd) had caught nits. I found it in time and it has been treated and cleared , and has not spread to any of the other children.

Vosene ordinary shampoo,the adults kind is no good.Smells like creosote and leaves your hair looking like you used it to mop the floor,and if you use an anti dandruff shampoo when you don't need it ,it'll give you dandruff.The kids 3 in 1 is very good,no skin irritations for us and we do have that problem with some shampoos. Well we haven't had headlice so far so hard to tell if the repellant works but my oldest's best friend had them and so far she hasn't got them so maybe it does.have only used it a couple of times so far, but have found it really easy to use. And the smell is just gorgeous, though slightly medicinal i have to say but i quite like that kinda smell for some strange reason! The kids really like the smell too, my oldest thought it smelt like limes! I only used a small blob on their heads, so it didnt lather up as much as i thought it might do. And i loved the bottle-very bright and easy to open. I'm all for using any shampoo if you feel that it will deter nits , as long as you continue to comb and conditioner. But most of all, my head and hair feel really fresh and clean, almost like a cooled sensation (must be the tea tree oil), so I may use the shampoo myself, as well as using it on my children. Who know's what will happen in 2013 when the PCTs cease to exist? A national scheme like Scotland would be nice! The Minor Ailments service will probably fall under Urgent Care, the budget for this will be held by the GPs or possibly the Foundation Trusts who are not known for their fondness for community pharmacy! Except one nutter who told us that it's ok ,as she washes her ds with voseene shampoo , but she doesn't really care as all kids have nits anyway .
