Paranoia problem?? Help please?!!?!


Question: Paranoia problem?? Help please?!!?
OK, so a couple of days ago, I found nits in my hair. I know, disgusting!! Anyway, I used this special shampoo that gets rid of the lice and kills the eggs too. Then my Mum went through my hair with a nit comb and got rid of everything. We've been constantly going through my hair with a nit comb, and Mum never finds anything. She washed the bed covers in boiling hot water, washed the teddy I sleep with every night and has put it in a bin liner in the garage (it'll stay there for 2 weeks). She's also washed this brush I've got in boiling water ( It's a special one so we don't want to throw it out) and disinfected it, and all my clothes I've been wearing. The only thing we haven't done is shampoo the carpets and wash the cover on my beanbag which I put my clothes for the next morning on. Is there anything else we can do??
This morning I went to put on a pair of trousers but there were two tiny little bugs on it, they were kind of like baby lice, but I'm not sure, and yesterday the same thing happened when I picked up my t-shirt. Could it be the beanbag?? But I looked on the web and it says lice can only live off a human's body for 2 days. I'd say it's been 2 or 3 days since the treatment, and as I say my scalp is really clean and there's no sign of eggs or lice at all. My Dad thinks I'm being stupid. Am I? Am I getting paranoid d'you think? I'm absolutely sure I saw the lice on the clothes this morning! Then again I jumped when a piece of dust fell on my ipod earlier. I don't know what to do, should I do the lice treatment again and wash everything in the house, should I go and see a doctor because I'm paranoid. The fact is I'm terrified of having to live with lice, one of my friends has had them since primary school and has been picked on for it, and I really don't want to go through that!!! I feel dirty and embarrassed (I know that lice live in clean hair and everything). I'm not going to school if I find any more in my hair next week. It's the first time I've ever had lice too. Please help and thank you in advance.

Do you have a dog or cat?
Could be fleas?As well?
Lice cant live without warmth and constant source of food- your research is correct
Wait one week and treat hair again
They say now treatment isnt as severe either- only need to wash your pillow case and treat hair twice one week apart (combing aswell)
Its natrual to feel a little paranoid about it and better that you do- sounds like your doing the right thing about it.



AMAZING! I find this. http://styleasy.info/28703/bin-liners

Don't be paranoid.



just relax and dont worry.



Don't be paranoid, you shouldn't visit a doctor just yet anyway. I remember getting nits when I was younger and feeling just like you do. Keep on nit picking and they'll be gone soon! About the finding nits on clothes, don't worry about that it's probably no problem, I'd wash the beanbag cover just in case though. I wouldn't bother washing carpets and stuff, but if you think it will make you feel better, then go for it!! I feel sorry for your friend, but it doesn't mean it will happen to you too, just keep doing what you're doing now. It's probably a good idea to stay away from school, in case you pass something on to another person. Good luck, Hope I Helped XD



Have you checked mum and dad for lice.....? They may have got on them too so when your clothes are being washed by mum she is dropping them?
Just an idea but really calm down actually lice only live in clean hair so its no reflection on how clean you are at all.
Relax xx
