[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find all the lice threads so interesting.  My DD is only 2 but is in daycare and I haven't gotten any notices.  I also never had lice as a kid and neither did DH.  I do remember a school nurse checking my hair once or twice though, so presumably someone else had it.  I do think cleanliness likely plays a role to some degree - i.e., washing dress up clothes, hats, blankets, etc. [/quote]

Thank you, this is OP. I know that lice can happen anywhere, in all socio-economic environments, so I was not trying to imply that it cannot happen, let's say, in an expensive private preschool. Because this is exactly where it happened and it just made me think whether they  take enough precaution not to have lice outbreaks happen too often, for too long periods of time. [/quote]

You'd both be wrong. Lice only spreads from one child's head to another. They do not linger on clothes or hats,mod at least healthy ones don't. Lice is a head infestation, not an environmental one. [/quote]
Not sure if this is true since the one time I got lice as a child it was from trying on hats at a store. [/quote]
