mercurydancer 1,104 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Its not the worst infestation I have ever seen, nor even close. We have had to pressure wash and cut the hair of some tramps we have got in A&E. Sometimes we had difficulty cutting their hair due to maggots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Having had a head-lice free childhood, I never expected to get them as a grown-up. In the 70s when I was a bus conductor in Scotland, my wife noticed I was scratching my head a lot. She bought a nit comb and put it through my hair (which was shoulder length at the time). It produced these pre-historic animals and frightened the hall out of me. We soon got rid of them but it must have been through mixing with so many people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I never had them as a child either, but they were rife in my childrens school and I would spend hours combing them out of their hair and treating their heads and then I got them, even though I would keep my hair tied back. I realised that when I was combing their hair, some of the nits were landing on my sweater and when I took it off over my head......... On the plus side they do say it's a sign of clean hair. Nits cannot grip onto greasy hair. Tip of the day for anyone needing to know: Teatree Oil is very good for getting rid of the pests and for then repelling them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,599 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 RR it seems to be your mission in life to search the forum for duplicate threads and bring them to light - a sort of undercover moderator. You're giving CT a lot of work to merge them but I'm sure he can cope! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
