I think I would just shave everyone's heads.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328515078319326511.post-65765972136928214392011-12-10T11:15:51.197-08:002011-12-10T11:15:51.197-08:00Here's hoping you escape bug-free.

In the meantime, years ago I read a hilarious piece by Marion Winik about lice infestation and I was just going to paraphrase it, but turns out the entire thing is available online at http://consumer.healthday.com/encyclopedia/article.asp?AID=646328<br /><br />The piece has little to nothing in the practical advice department, but that's available everywhere. It has lots of giggles, empathy and you're not in this alone-ness, which will probably be just as useful at this point.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328515078319326511.post-284580724304707222011-12-10T07:57:15.022-08:002011-12-10T07:57:15.022-08:00We went through head lice twice when my children w...We went through head lice twice when my children were young. One was a childcare situation; the other was at school a few years later. I was overcome with anxiety as both of my girls (with very long hair) got them. It was a really, truly uncomfortable time. Mayonnaise didn't work. The drugstore products didn't work either. The only thing that worked was a concoction provided to us by our family doctor that had a stronger concentration of the poison needed to kill them. I read about a business who now does lice/nit removal for an hourly fee. They treat it like a doctor visit and try to normalize and regulate the process (for both the children AND parents). I wish they had that service when my children were young. I'm very sorry about the scare - but please know...the world won't quite if they get them. And, you'll empathize or think of things in a very different way. It will be okay...either way. Good luck, Red Dirt KellyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463974626832937425noreply@blogger.com
