In my Detroit schools we were more exposed to cockroaches than head lice.

Like several others have said, I was in school 13 years, never heard of a single case of lice. Maybe parents kept it hush-hush due to embarrassment?

Was it always the same kids? It was always the Lafrance brothers at my school and a couple other kids from the same "rural" area. Like the hillbilly kids.

Here’s the best advice you’re going to get from a former pediatric nurse:
Get a bottle of LA Looks mega hold hair gel. Slather that gel in their hair until it’s saturated. Wrap their head in plastic wrap with the gel still in hair and leave in for 12-24 hours. They’ll be dead the next day. |

The Office says a mayonnaise coating will kill it. Bring out the Hellman's. Bring out the best. Merideth from The Office went scorched earth and shaved her head. Lord help me if I ever get lice, my family would not know me. Hoping for the best Assman. |

Mine have come home with it multiple times over the last few years.
All because of PC feel good bullshit preventing them from being checked periodically like when I was in school |

Meh, try living in SoCal with the migrant kids showing up occasionally in school.
Lice was routine, but my son also got worms. (Also had several jackets and other things stolen too) |

Quoted: Girls tend to touch each others hair and share hair grooming devices 87X more than boys do. View Quote Besides the normal backlash from that, one asked me what would they tell their friends.......I told them just to say cancer. I wasn't popular with my family that night |

When I was growing up (born in 1959) we never had that stuff in school. It seems common place now. What is the problem?
Don't get me wrong, I know lice have been around to drive humanity crazy for as long as humanity has been around to be driven crazy. You would normally read about people living in filthy conditions, along with other ailments that are common in that situation. I've heard talking heads say that it has nothing to do with any particular type of people or environment. The lice wouldn't be on filthy people... Really? I call bunk. |

Do parents not teach their kids to bathe anymore? View Quote Europeans have showers over their toilets at least, but the vast majority of the underdeveloped world doesn't even have clean water at a local spigot to draw from, let alone bathrooms like we have in America. Central America isn't that different. There are straight-up peasants who live in trash and on dirt floors if they are lucky. The "wealthy" have homes with glass shards embedded on the tops of their yard walls, with rebar over their windows. |

That shits sick. I've never seent it and never have heard of anybody getting lice in the last 20 years. Oily hair is a deterrent

Earlier this year we got a call from daycare that hand foot and mouth broke out. My son caught it. And since it is rare in adults... I caught it too...... 3 weeks of pain. Thankfully it was only on my feet and the same with my son. It destroyed my feet. https://imageshack.com/a/img923/3419/dAIyzh.jpg The head lice scare was bath and shampoo and changing/washing bedding every day. View Quote |

Trivia: black people are not very susceptible to head lice. The lice species that love us don't do well on black hair. For black hair to be infested, it has to be a terribly unhygienic case, like a homeless crackhead type of thing.
I grew up in a rural 50% white/50% black area in the 70s, and not only did we have the occasional lice check, but the black kids had a sickle cell check. I remember one kid being taken out of the class as he was a positive and a current concern. |

3rd world people = 3rd world problems.
Stuff like this used to be totally unknown as it had been eradicated. Welcome to diversity. One day we are going to wish it was just lice when something worse than Ebola appears. |

Gifts from our neighbors to the south. You'd be amazed at how many little lice ridden (coc) come in to our custody.

Atleast you got a letter, at my kids school they aren't allowed to send letters home because feels. So if my kids get exposed we get to find out after, our whole house and everybody we know has fucking bugs. View Quote I remember those inspections. Once the nurse dropped a toothpick that was being used to examine a student. Another student tried to help by picking it up. The teacher freaked out as if the student was just then exposed to gonasyphaherpalaids and would soon release ebola on everyone. Years later, we're talking 20 or so years later, I ran into that teacher and called them out on their bullshit. |

The blessings of integration in San Francisco in the early '70s. No one had head lice until integration and the poor kids from the hood came in.
