WWYD re: Halloween...

So my brother called to say his family (my SIL and niece) all had LICE- they've spent the last week cleaning house, and doing treatments for the lice, and it's been clear the past few days.  Would YOU still want them to come over for trick-or-treating with YOUR family?  I certainly don't want my 2 boys or DH and I to get lice, but they've said the treatments are done and they've been lice free for days...  wwyd? TIA!

    Honestly I would let them come trick-or-treating!  If they are lice-free then you will be fine.

    The difficult thing about lice is that even if there is just one nit (aka: lice egg), it can hatch in 1-2 weeks and the whole thing starts all over again.  I would just be nervous about that happening.

    My daughter got lice last year and luckily my husband and I didn't get it, but 7-10 days later we scoured the house again, just in case we had missed any nits and they had hatched.

    I'd wait....like pp said, they may be clear of any active lice, but there may still be the issue of a stray egg.
