Lice (1 Viewer)

Daughter got the lice from school. Keep in mind that my kids are in a private school, not some scummy public school. Parents are outraged. How could lice possibly get into our school? Lice is for the dirty, poor folks. Not our precious Ivy league bound children! We thought we were so much better than lice!

 
Most parents with kids in private school don't have time to keep the kids clean. Your kids probably brought the lice to school. Enjoy. Keep your dirty, filthy private school rejects away from my clean public school kids....

 
It was Jimmy Turner. He and his parents took a tour of the school last week. He's currently a public school student. He was taking selfies with the kids at our school. Boom! Lice.

The color drained from my wife's face about 30 minutes ago when the lady cutting our youngest son's hair called us over discreetly.

In response to the hair cutter's effort to be discreet my wife got very loud and basically said the quoted here. :cry: :lol:   :bag:

Buzz cut? 

 
So....

I have twin daughters.  13 years old last year.  One got lice.  Then the other one.  Then the first one got it back.

Lice hate dirty hair.  In fact, one of the worst things from a lice prevention standpoint would be to wash the hair every night.

My girls are very clean, in a top school, and somehow still ended up getting lice.  I'm only sorry my ex didn't get it in the meantime, but it literally can happen to anyone.  My fellow manager at work also had her kids get it, then she got it as well.

It is an incredibly painstaking process to nit comb the hair, especially when the hair reaches far down the child/adults back.  It's not a disease, just a bug.

We finally were able to knock it out using Sklice, but it was 3 months of misery.

 
Our homeschooled kids got lice. Then we just keep passing it around from one family to the next. I have gone nuclear with malithion the last time. I am older now and can't see as well. 

 
Lice and their eggs can be suffocated, but it takes several hours.

Easiest way to be rid of lice is to douse the entire head, scalp to tips, with a dimethicone-containing shampoo. No water -- just lots and lots and lots of dimethicone-containing shampoo. Then let it sit -- do not rinse it out -- for 6-8 hours. Then rinse it out very thoroughly.

Dimethicone is most commonly found in shampoo/conditioner combos like Pert. Dimethicone is not a poison ... but it is a pernicious lubricant. It will cover the individual lice and their eggs completely and not slip off or rub off. This cuts off the oxygen supply, which doesn't kill the lice/eggs instantly. Takes several hours. But it will work, and the lice never can develop immunity.

Some other substances, such as mayonnaise, can do the same thing. Mayo is very hard to clean out of hair, though. Just get some Pert and make it easy.

 
Years ago, both my kids got it at the same time--long blonde hair. It sucked. Everything that could have gone into the washing machine did (well except the kids of course) and you never quite feel comfortable going forward. Every little dandruff flake you examine--every scratch of the head leads to a question,

Yea, I would go the Pert route.  My mother believed in natural remedies so we did the Mayo and it took like a week to get the smell out.  I didn't eat Mayo again for 5 years.  But it did work at killing all the lice.

Lice are the worst.  It's been like 7 months without them coming back, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop since my daughters pick it up at school every dang year.
