A member asked:

Me and my family has been infested with lice for over 10 years and no body will do any thing about?

See a dermatologist: It's hard to imagine having lice for 10 years. There is something that must change in your environment and hygiene and you will need topical medicine. Consult with a dermatologist very soon.

Curious question: Head lice are a human only problem, they cannot live on animals and can only survive for a limited time on objects like caps or scarves.Some studies show 95% of lice are resistant to common treatments in some areas.Family cure means all must be treated at the same time along with any human contacts.Objects that may hide lice or eggs should be sanitized.
