Got to address it.: Well, if she doesn't get rid of them, she will pass them on to you & others. They are contagious. Please point out to her that you care about & for her but not for her lice. Here is info you can provide to her. Tx of lice requires accurate identification of nits & / or lice. A pediculicide is usually used- otc like nix (permethrin) or rid or prescription meds like lindane or malathion. Work carefully through.
