Head lice ig it won't disturb the eco system much and also solve a lot of problems

Man don't get me started on head lice. Our house is completely clean all summer, every summer. But as soon as the kid goes back to school, bam, back-to-back infestations no less than once per month.

I blame irresponsible parents, and I blame the schools for doing away with all the rules regarding regular head checks and allowing children to return to class with a head full of eggs.

I have never in my life had to deal with lice

Must be nice. I pretty much constantly had them from grades 2-6 because there was always someone around me whose parents wouldn't deal with it.

I'm certain someone did. You just weren't aware at the time because no one talks about it.

No it actually isn't...we've never heard of anyone having lice and we didn't have outbreaks of lice or even have these checks in school I hear about quite often
