Funny, I got head lice just the year after in kindergarten from a kid who strongly resembled this one. :P And I think that's what my mom used. Don't remember particularly; I just got a couple free days out of school! :)

She would have been 10 in '86, but this photo could have been a few years old by that time so it's possible it's her. It looks like a basic stock image that could have been used for pretty much anything.

Well, her teacher asked if she brought enough for the whole class. The answer was yes.

at that point the standard treatment was Lindane.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindane

"The EPA and WHO both classify lindane as 'moderately' acutely toxic ... Exposure to large amounts of lindane can harm the nervous system, producing a range of symptoms from headache and dizziness to seizures, convulsions and more rarely death."

Three consecutive treatments with Lindane was considered to be an acute toxic risk for children.
