[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would send my kids because while lice is annoying and disgusting it is not life threatening.  At least they were upfront and told you.  What if they didn't know and then your kid came home with lice?  Tell your kid not to use their hairbrushes, pillows etc and check when they come home.

I'm sure they cleaned it all out and other posters that are freaking out are going way overboard.  But, if you don't feel comfortable just let them know your kid won't be coming.[/quote]

Yes, this.[/quote]

I guess you don't know anyone who has had lice. It can stay for weeks, requiring multiple chemical shampoos, house cleanings, calls to the Lice Lady etc. Not worth it for a sleepover.[/quote]

My kids have had it and while burdensome, we did not need to do all that. House cleanings? Really. They only live on human head. The Lice Lady people just say bag bedding, etc you can't wash.

If my kid is invited to this kid's house to sleepover, I assume they are good friends, and my kid is already in the line of fire.[/quote]
