So you are going to judge me for this?? I was an extremely clean child who washed her hair all the time. Lice loves a healthy head. Especially thick long dark hair. It's not like I could have prevented it. Perhaps it would have been easier to shave off all my hair. I don't know.
Lice was common issue for some reason.
I'm going to judge you for not being vigilant about it because you had it a bunch. I had it exactly once and will avoid it again at all costs, and you're all breezy. Nah, the treatment's NBD. And it's k if she gives it to everyone else because we all have HOURS to spend combing everyone's hair and WASHING ALL OF THE THINGS and throwing a bunch of shit out. It's totes cool. Yeah, I'll judge that. It's not a think to be laid-back about.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
Poor play date mom is freaking out! You can't do that to people! She's probably frantically texting all her friends and keeping your kid off her couches.
Is the headband a magical protective barrier? Lol. Oh man. Isn't the lice fairy tonight? Chiro couldn't wait until tomorrow after everyone has been treated??
Did you tell the receptionist that was snuggling your baby to check her head tonight!? Ack!

This is my question as well. Not just tonight, but for the next 7 - 10 days. Poor girl; I think I feel worst for her because she has no idea. She just thought she was being inconvenienced; little does she know she was also knowingly exposed to lice.
papie, at least call the practice later this week and let them know, even if you fudge and say it was just discovered.
Wait, this is a thing? Like a person that comes to your house and does the lice removal for you? Genius!
Yes. It is both ridiculously expensive and the best thing ever.
The company I used was called "Lice Happens." I literally called them sobbing at 6 a.m. after a sleepless night of phantom itching, and they sent someone out same day.
I told my husband he could count it as my Christmas and birthday present that year if he wanted, but we had to have them come out. It's safe to say that after discovering the lice I was.... not myself.
I drove straight to the lice fairies at discovery, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I called my H from the waiting room. "How much does it cost?" He asked. "DOES IT MATTER?" I shouted.
I tell everyone (and I told Papie in every lice thread) you really need to have pros deal with it to truly get rid of it. It is damn near impossible to totally get rid of it yourself.
I want to add in here that one time I found an itty bitty spider on the nose of the teddy bear that I kept on my bed in elementary school. From that day on, I look at all stuffed animals to see if they have bugs on them. That teddy bear is probably still in a bag in my parents' house.
What I'm saying is, lice would ruin my life. I can't handle the thought of all things fabric having bugs in them.
You must be at the end of your rope or I know you would not consider this. ((air hugs))
Except that even when you're at the end of your rope, there's no excuse for endangering the health and well being of others. You don't get to make your horrible awful problem someone else's because YOU have an appointment. I mean...what? If she had an urgent need to go to the chiro, her husband needed to take off work and stay home with the kids.
That poor receptionist. Not only can she not do her normal work because she's saddled with two kids, she is probably contracting BUGS. I mean WHAT PLANET ARE WE ON RIGHT NOW??
This place is good as any to tell you that I find myself nodding my head in agreement with all of your posts lately.
