Ignornace is bliss, Chill.

Lice and scabbies jump from person to person and with scabbies from clothing that is not washed before wearing. Mostly from, 3rd world countries. Watch where you buy your clothes.

I didn't know this until a few years ago, but a school nurse told me.

It is not a clean vs dirty thing situation.

Lice can be transmitted from the cleanest hair. Lice like CLEAN dark hair. It was why son (blonde) didn't have it. His hair was very short (1/4 inch). My daughters and her friends had darker hair. Lice do not like pale or short hair, lice do not like light.

I did the shampooming, combing, cuddling, and hugs......... because my kids and their friends were upset. Because another Mom had to earn a living. I took care of five kids instead of just three of mine.

Because a school nurse cared, she came and checked me for lice. She knew how much I loved my kids and all kids, she cared too.

Because I cared and huged, I had lice too. Not to the exrent of the kids, but the school nurse helped me. She knew I cared, and took care of me too.

My husband worked worked with a part time hair dresser than came to our home and cut the kids hair to make it eairer to comb out the lice.

Fast forward 3 months and the next door neighbors kids had lice. It was Christmas holiday time. They called me and I came over with my school handouts and internet searches. They didn't tell the school or warn anyone when the holidays were over. NO!!! Oh the the stigama of having lice!

How did they get get lice?

Hat day at school.

How do the lice keep going? People afraid to say thier kids have lice.

Oh and by the way I live in an affluent community.

that is something that has been said but not fully true about blonde's not getting lice...my daughters frined who gave them to her was blonde...and since her hair was super super thick, they were hard to notice...took her mother and me a whole almost to fully get them out (i sat for her after school)...another reason they keep being passed is that like this child mother did, treated all of the kids hair (there were 3) but didn't treat the house (spraying, bombing, washing sheets, bagging stuffed animals etc) a total mess...i finally had to put a stop to those two being together and my daughter has been lice free for 3 years now. knock wood!!! you can get them also if you have short hair, it's just they are easier to comb out and see them with short hair..using a quick dab of conditioner is a good way to keep them from clinging much, the conditioner makes them slide and not able to get a good hold on the hair.

My daughter caught lice, she had long blonde hair at the time, it was so hard to get rid off, we had to treat her several times, did all the house cleaning stuff. I called the school the very day I found it, if you don't report it the school has no way of knowing and it keeps getting passed along. At her elementary school, when a report was sent in, all children were checked. Parents were asked to volunteer to do the checking, usually a few nurses would be there, I was asked if I would go and help with the head checks the day I reported Hilary's. I did it.

Believe me when I tell you this. All heads can get lice, the school was having a problem with it, and I personally found it in red, blonde black and brown hair, short, medium, long, curly stright hair, clean and dirty hair.

We were told not to make it a bad thing for the kids, that they were just little pesty bugs that like to jump from one person to another and that everyone could get it, a teacher even caught it.

Notices were sent to all parents to recheck their childrens head and the proper treatments to use. The kids with head lice were not told, their parents got a phone call.

People have to realize it is not a dirty thing, just nasty and you have to get rid of it, hiding it only keeps it spreading.

Ok, now I am itching, but just wanted to clear up that lice are colour blind, they like hair, and they are really hard to get rid of.

I am part of the team of parents who check for head lice at our school. Last fall the lice was all around. We found lice in long hair, short hair (actually a buzz cut) dark hair, blond hair (toe-head), older students hair, younger students hair, teachers hair.

The conditioner is a great idea. And we also use a little tea tree and eucalyptus oil at the base of the neck because the lice do not like those oils...

I found tea tree oil shampoo, and used it regularily on Hilarys hair after the lice incident and she didn't catch it again. Also they say hairspray repels them. Don't know for sure but it is worth a try. Thankfully she is in junior high now and so no hat days, no hanging coats and hats on pegs side by side and so maybe those days are over. heres hoping

Just watched the clip Angelic posted (tx Angel!)

ROFL at Scott saying to Sheila, "Can we talk about me for a minute?"

I've been dying for someone in the house to say that to her!

LLkool... lets keep our fingers crossed... last year it was our 7th grade class that got hit hard. I guess that means the kids are huggers...and in the school play, and playing baseball sharing the helmet, oh and the sleepovers...

just found an article saying that BB10 is a go

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1649478620080317

the author is obviously not up to speed on the whole BB thing - he says it's been aired for the past 3 summers - and I'm certain I've spent more than 3 summers here on my fanny in front of the computer! LOL

There are no cut and dried rules where lice is concerned.

1 out of 3 of my kids caught it. He was the blond headed one. Did not catch it from school. It was gifted to him from a roll away bed in a very nice hotel.

I am a very affectionate parent. Matter of fact our whole family is just like the Tanners from Full House. Still get hugged by my almost 30 year old every time he enters or leaves the house. 17 year old still hugs and kisses good-night every night. Not only that, I actually laid on the roll away bed myself one morning when I got up to use the rest room and he jumped in the king size bed with his daddy. My side, which I slept on the next night. I have dark hair.

Lice made a rapid run through grand-daughters day care. She is dark haired. She was one of the few that did not get it.

Okay, I'm just now waking up after staying up til 3 a.m. watching live feeds last night (what was I thinking?). But I was so annoyed by Matt...walking around like a whipped puppy...talking big to Adam in the yard (and when did Adam become the voice of wisdom on how to intimdate people into NOT voting for you?)...and what's up with Sharon giving him advice?

And when did Sheilah become the chief manipulator of the house? What was James thinking when he brought her down off the block? I am SOOOOO over her!

Having said that though, I hope Matt is on his way to spending his birthday alone in sequester. I have never ever heard a man less self-aware than he is. He doesn't have a clue about why he's on the block. In the Gospel According to Matt he's a saint!

My daughter spent time in a day care where lice ran rampant and I fought the battle several times...until I was finally able to get her out of that day care. She hasn't had lice since. But I finally had to resort to putting mayo on her hair and sealing it in with a plastic bag. Some people had told me that was an old wive's tail but it worked.

But since the lice incident my daughter has had scalp problems, which I really feel are from the harsh chemicals being used on her hair so often.

My bet is Matt won't go because I think AG likes the story line of Matt and James being after each other. Last year when Dick was on his way out and the best game play was to kick him out Eric and whats her name made a deal with him, it was so stupid to do so. It would be just as stupid to keep Matt, but I won't be surprised when they do.

Do we have a feeling on whom will be leaving? I can't make head's or tail's out of it. Sheila seems to think it will be whomever she wants it to be.

Roxip, Nat went to Shelia and told her all the things that the other side was saying about her, leaving out what she and her side said about her. Stuff about her being mental etc. That got her all riled up and she is on the warpath now.
