Yes seen it and I would get the lfs to pay for every single fish she lost.
No way should a lfs be selling fish that have a desease which the know about.

For fish lice the med they suggest if very powerful and dangerous you do need to know how to use it.

Taken from the link.

The fish louse is a flattened mite-like crustacean about 5 mm long that attaches itself to the body of fish. They irritate the host fish which may have clamped fins, become restless, and may show inflamed areas where the lice have been.
With larger fish and light infestations, the lice can be picked off with a pair of forceps. Other cases can best be done with a 10 to 30 minute bath in 10 mg per liter of potassium permanganate. Or treat the whole tank with 2 mg per liter, but this method is messy and dyes the water.
