primitive's granddaughters get lice

[Karin]

It most certainly was.

Back in 98 or so I worked at a call center, not the one I am currently at.  We had, uh, "lice" in the women's room, and we had to have a conversation with EVERY single woman there to notify them of our issue.  I got tons of calls from husbands/boyfriends to confirm that, as they thought they were fooling around. 

Good times, that.

Did anyone actually believe the crabs came from the restroom?

Sounds like getting the clap from a toilet seat, or Magic Johnson getting AIDS from a woman.

I don't think anyone believed they came from the restroom.  That's just where we spied them.

Experts disagree on head lice.  Who gets it and who doesn't.

My 13 year old and I were told she had the lice,  She was the only person in the family that washed her hair every day, used no conditioner or any styling products.

A teacher and school nurse came to my home to advise me on how to handle the problem.  Daughter went to school with kids that greased their hair washed their hair every 6 weeks to keep the expensive corn rows in place. and they had no problem.

The school nurse and the teacher could not show me the lice or eggs in her hair, I was told that I should buy OTC lice remover and comb out the nits--there were none I could see. My daughters oldest sister went to the drug store and bought hair dye with ammonia the same color of her hair.  We washed it in and figured if she did indeed have lice this would kill them.

Questions still remain on why the boys that I had to force to bath and brush their teeth, wash their hands before meals that never got lice from their sister or from anyone.  Oldest daughter and I never had these problems.

Much to think about but at this time why bother.  To wonder if this was a racial issue back then is possible but why bother to bring it up today ???

actually, you can get clap from a toilet seat.  the bacteria can survive outside the human body for up to 48 hours, especially if it's a hot, humid climate.

Head lice are really hard to see.  They have little or nothing to do with frequent hair washing, as the nits can hold their breath when they get wet.  Girls with long hair are probably more susceptible.  They have to be treated with either a chemical that kills them, or certain types of oil and combing with a fine tooth comb.  After the initial treatment, it should be followed up at least once about a week later to get any eggs that hatched that were missed in the first round.

If a school has an outbreak they will send home a notice on what to look for.

A co-worker and her family rented a vacation house for a week near a ski area in February.  The lady I work with ended up sleeping in a twin bed in what she described as a room decorated for little kids.  Another co-worker and I spied lice in her hair soon after she got back from vacation.  We could see them from several feet away.  She was furious and took the rest of the day off to rid herself and her house of them.  Just looking at her made me itchy.

When I lived in SC where I worked we had a customer come in who we discovered had lice.  Most of us started getting itchy just thinking about it.  One of our black co-workers said to another, "I'm not worried.  Are you worried?"  Apparently lice cannot attach to hair that has a dressing on it.  Lucky ladies!  The teased the rest of us for a week.

another cool louse fact, head lice and pubic lice (crabs) are two distinct species and neither will be found on the other's home field.  You want real kicks?  Try scabies.

When I was young, my brother got 'em.  That was how my parents got rid of them--the first sentence.  My mom didn't go to the second sentence.

Our daughter went through this about a year ago, and she transmitted them to my wife.  Our daughter got them from her day-care class.  We're in a suburb, and all of her classmates were middle- to upper-class.  Lice know no class structure.  I didn't have the lice, mainly because I have very little hair to start with.

Glad it wasn't your sister who had to go bald!

That explains Wee Willie Pitt's Uncle Fester phase.

I believe this, head lice do not like hair that is dressed with anything, the lice head for the super clean hair, one reason on why it is such a shock to be told a child that washes their hair every day get the nasty.

I do not know about crabs personally but in Nursing saw those with them.  Like bed bugs, who knows where they come from.    Sex is not the only way people get the bugs.

Ring worm and Athletes feet is another problem as is intestinal worms--pin worms or tape worms.

With all the foreign food coming in to the country we can wash it off before preparing for food, but what about the restaurants that serve this food, what are we eating away from home ???

Then when we try on clothing in a store dressing room, who knows how many others have tried a garmet on ?? A documentary took a blue light into the stores---high end and found everything from feces to body bugs and blood of all kinds.

I have been told that one eats a peck of dirt before they die.

That's one of the very best reasons to keep DUmmy vestanumbers on ignore.

You don't see her moronic, offensive posts unless someone inexplicably quotes her.

So whats offencive about speaking the truth Go, check out the on line stores that sell personal protective devices to that are to be used to check out if they are being filmed in a dressing room.   They must get enough orders to keep them in business.

The blue lights sold are going strong, people who travel use them to check hotel rooms for stains on the walls or on the bed.  Why wonder why all the Cruse ships have a good number of passengers that come down with a virus.  Who knows what was left in their room by the last passengers ?   

Why do some upscale grocery stores hand out gloves to customers before they get or touch a grocery cart ??

BTW, what do you think of the Dentist that caused a riot for his patients that involved unsterilised instruments and unlicensed techs that administered IV's of some kind of medication..

Nasty world out there, no way we can protect ourselves from EVERYTHING.   

I find it not offencive to post on world news with warnings about  things that may someday effect someone.

So Go , you have a problem with me and it seems to be personal----So who the hell are you ???

[Gina]

what did this mean, vesta?  it just came out of nowhere

Vesta dear, has anyone ever pointed at you and said, "Hey, look, it's Ben Franklin!"?

We had a bout with them years ago when the kids were little, in a small 2x3 block neighborhood in a NJ town, the neighbor kids ranged from very well-off to one step from the projects, so who knows where they caught them.  The Rid stuff worked pretty well, whoever we got the medical advice from (Doc, school nurse, or neighborhood medical professional, I don't recall) said to also wash anything cloth that might touch a head during use and if it couldn't be washed, to put it in plastic garbage bags for at least two weeks.  Worked mostly, there was one minor resurgence from eggs on something that got missed apparently, but no further problems once that was dealt with.
