Question:
I was going through my son's back pack tonight, getting ready to do his
homework with him, when I found a newsletter sent home from his teacher.
Apparently the school received a phone call warning of a head lice outbreak.
I am soooo freaked out right now, there are no words.
Answer:
I remember my son scratching at church one day and I elbowed him saying
"STOP SCRATCHING! People are going to think you've got lice." Next day he
was scratching again so I checked his head, yep, crawlin' with the little
critters. Now, it didn't freak me out, just made me itchy. ;o)
Called his friends' moms & called the school The principal got very
defensive: "Well he didn't get them HERE!" "Listen, lady, get a grip! I
just called to inform you, not accuse you of transmitting them to him."
OK, I said it politely but you'd have thought I'd called to say she'd
molested him.
Checked his siblings and his father: all clean. Then nobody would check my
head and I was getting itchier & itchier. Ended up treating myself with
Kwellada too, although I don't know if it's effective treatment for
overactive imagination.
Then of course it was washing all the bed linens in hot water and drying in
the dryer and putting the pillows and stuffed toys in the freezer for a
week. It's labour intensive but not the end of the world.
