[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean would all of you be cool if there was a lice infestation in your office and your hair? [/quote]

As someone who got lice from my kid when there was an outbreak at her school, I would be miserable if their was lice in my own hair.

But also there's a reason lice circulates in elementary schools but is really not common most other places. Do you hug your colleagues regularly, lie down on the ground with your heads touching, wrestle, or play with each other's hair? Do you often share hoodies, hats, or hair accessories? No.

So if a colleague had lice, I'd feel bad for that colleague and would want them to treat before coming into the office, but I actually wouldn't worry that much about it. When my DD and I got it, DH didn't even get it and he lives with us and hugs us both and had laid in bed next to DD in the days before we caught it. But he has short hair and doesn't share brushes with DD, whereas I did, so I got it and he didn't.

Adults don't have to worry that much about lice unless you have a kid in elementary, because that's where it lives.[/quote]
