My sister stays in a hostel, and she's caught a really bad case of head lice from the other girls there. We did some Googling and found treatment centers, but they all seem to be for kids. Can she get treated at your clinic? We're really concerned because head lice can seriously affect a person's health, and we've tried all sorts of home remedies, but nothing's working anymore.
