lice ugh my friends daughter caught lice at school. we've been to her house recently but seem to be ok?


Question:
i'm supposed to drive with my friend today & go to her house tomorrow to paint but i'm afraid to. how does she rid her house & car of lice. she is washing everyone hair w/ rid.

Answers:
ahhh Ok first off please dont panic. School nurses generall have no clue what lice look like. They mistake dandruff more often than not. Then the kids feel like outcasts when they get sent home and the mom feels dirty. First off. Lice live on clean heads. Not dirty heads. So the whole...ewwwwww they are dirty wives tale can be thrown out the window. and ill be more likely to say..she was more likely to get them at the movie theatre than at school. Lice cant jump. Did your friend take her daughter to the drs to get a postive ? if not..please dont panic. The chances of you getting them is slim...slimmer than most beleive. Im a hairdresser and have dealt with the "sent home thing" None of the kids actually had lice. Be a good friend and help her paint. and advise her to do some research. BTW. soon schools will not be sending kids home cause of it. It is not a health hazard whatsoever..just..sounds that way:) GL:)
Vacuum the carpets and furniture...the car too. A louse can't live longer than 24 hours without a blood supply...and they cannot feed off animals--it's gotta be human blood.
