Parents in despair: “Can’t get rid of head lice!”
Agonizing itching on the head is the main symptom of a head lice infestation. After the start of the school and kindergarten year, many families are once again affected. One desperate reader: "I'm going mad and feel helpless!" Professional delousing is often the last resort.
"I'm desperate!" complains Eva-Maria Z. in an interview with Krone+. "My daughter contracted lice in early summer in her last year of kindergarten as a kind of farewell present." She then spent the whole summer treating the lice according to instructions, buying shampoos and combing out the girl's long hair. "Now school has started and I'm still finding nits - again and again! I'm going mad!" says the mother of three from Vienna.
She is so embarrassed by the problem that she wants to remain anonymous. "Yes, it's disgusting, but above all I feel helpless," she says. And Eva-Maria Z. is by no means alone in this: head lice are "in season" all year round, and almost every family is affected at some point.
