[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only ever known one person in my life that ever had lice, and that was decades ago, just a boy in school who was almost homeless, alcoholic dad and his mother had run away, so he rarely bathed.

School shaved his head and he got to come back to class next day.

Cannot imagine anyone in this day and age having lice. How gross![/quote]

Most of the kids I know who have had lice are upper middle class white girls between ages 7 and 12. They have long hair, they use lots of hair accessories, they have sleepovers. That's where the lice are and how they spread, not from some traumatized neglected child who was humiliated at school.[/quote]

Soo gross. Lice is so rare, so they must be around some really dirty people to get it. [/quote]

It's gross but not even a little rare. Lice is always circulating. And it's not about dirt, just exposure to lice. They aren't dirt, they are bugs. And they are not more attracted to dirty or unbathed people -- everyone I know who has had lice is a clean person. A clean person who then got lice from another person, who likely was also clean.[/quote]
Right. The lice actually prefer clean hair. Sorry to the weirdo posting "you are so gross". She clearly doesn't remember when she got lice in preschool.[/quote]
