I sincerely hope for multiple reasons you manage to avoid the little fuckers.

Yeah- not hugely likely- but paranoid girl is paranoid.

Seems very unlikely at this stage, but there's been so many sightings, and many in my vicinity. Talk about feeling like a monkey getting checked to see if they're on me. That was funny.

twitch I live in abject, quivering horror of the day Benjamin brings lice home from school. No, I'm not using the same solution.

[mizarchivist]

I really get that and yeah- my solution while the most immediately effective would lead to sadness after the buggies were gone

So far the Cetaphil seems to work

It's a bit of a pain but basically all you do is put this lotion in your hair, make sure it gets all the way down to your scalp, and then blow-dry on hot.

Why are you at increased risk of getting lice? This scares me...

[mizarchivist]

Lots of kids I know (including a few I haven't seen in over 2 years, so I'm just really paranoid) have been getting it this week.

Oh dear. That makes me want to wear a surgical hair covering every time I'm around children, which is hardly ever, but still. Any kind of bodily insect infestation terrifies me. I'll be paranoid with you.

How long is your hair now?

[mizarchivist]

Past my shoulders. But s'ok. Not gonna have to cut it off.
