Good thing she didn't have a girl.

Naa. Just show her some snippets of Alien 3 and V for Vendetta. She be aight.


This does cause me to wonder, though......is this another symptom of 'the modern world'? Because I don't remember these issues in grade school.

When I was in elementary school the school nurses would come in periodically and go around the room checking all the kids for lice. I always loved when they did cos it feels really cool--a little scalp massage. I was sent home with lice once in 1st grade. That would have been the 1984-85 school year.

Depends on your definition of modern world.  Most of the surviving documents from antiquity mention lice as one of the scurges of communal living.  Wasn't lice a biblical plague?  I don't think we're any more concerned about these little ---daisies---, they are just thankfully less common in the last 100 years or so in America.

My daughters class had it last november, it was a major issue because the kids just kept reinfesting each other. My house wasn't really much of an issue since we had just moved and everything was pretty clutter-free. I segragated all the stuffed animals, washed the sheets and towels and sprayed a bit on the fabric furnature just to be safe. I buzz my hair so no issues their. My GF didn't get it but we did the treated her all the same.

Problem was some parents just didn't go through the effort to do it properly.  :banghead:

My girls learned to wear their hair up every day, keep their jackets zipped inside their packs, and to stay away from the dirty kids...(just kidding about that part but that's how I felt)

Good luck Shmokes, I used a combo of Nix and Rid and one other product that has a different active ingrediant. Ultimatly I think being diligant of the repeat treatment 5 days later wether you see eggs or not.
