Bring it on!
Because we haven't had enough crap for one summer......
Got a call just before 4 today to come and get The Boy from camp. He has head lice. Not full blown, just a few eggs.
I asked who he got it from. "He's the only one so far," she replied. I said, "Well, keep looking - he hasn't been around anyone but us and the kids at camp so that pretty much narrows it down."
Sure enough when I got there, he was sitting next to a girl with very dirty looking hair. I treated him immediately, and we went through his beautiful long hair with a fine toothed comb - literally. I think we got it all, but we'll keep checking and treat again in a week just in case. He's been in daycare situations all his life, and we've never had to deal with this.
Now I am itching all over!

It's a bit shitty of them to say "he's the only one," isn't it?

I am so not looking forward to that crap.
When I worked at the domestic violence shelter, kids/adults would often bring home lice or scabies from school or work. I would itch from the moment I walked in until I left. *knock wood* I never caught it.
