We should be worried about the lice lol. I had to deal with it once and it was horrifying. After doing my daughter my mother in law went through my hair with the little nit comb after shampooing and a couple of them could be seen on the comb still moving their legs:( I was paranoid for weeks. Even back then there were warnings that the lice was becoming resistant to the pesticides. These kids are going to spread these lice all over our schools and since the schools now allow kids to attend even with nits in their hair, that means you can treat all you want, your kid will catch it back from some other kid. We will all be living with creepy crawlers running around on our heads!

the government could require all citizens to shave their heads, for the common good.

Lice are more bothersome than life threatening like some of the diseases they’re bringing over.

Some home remedies for lice:

Adults - Shower your head with the hottest water you can stand (not for kids) to help catch them at the start. If there are lice in the school, parents should do this once or twice a week on themselves to help kill off eggs and live ones before they get an infestation.

For adults and kids - cover your hair with mayonnaise and wrap it in a plastic bag to keep it on your head and off the furniture. Leave it on as long as you can because the bugs supposedly can’t breath with mayo. On a similar note - some cultures leave oils and heavy conditioners on their hair making it more difficult for the lice to grab hold of the hair.

For adults and kids - Blow drying hair will help kill off live ones and cook the eggs.
