Last week end we found lice in Peter's and Christopher's hair. I promise you, I have never found or dealt with lice in my long life, but this explains all the scratching. Ick, big Ick, ick ick ick!!
So Scott got the poison shampoo and I slathered it on their monkey heads, all the while itching myself. Even though I read that you don't have to wash everything, I did.
So it seems to have worked. We go through each other's hair like a bunch of hungry primates. Every time they scratch we have another little look. I just know that the lice are lurking in our couches and carpet, waiting for an unsuspecting head (or hairy toe / leg) to jump on and start a new colony.
The cat has fleas.
Sigh.

It is absolutely embarrassing that I've had lice as many times as I've had them in my lifetime. I have no idea what the number is. Disgusting.
HOWEVER, I'm an expert in louse removal. I'm practically a primate. Wish I could help.
I had lice a bunch as a kid too. It's one of those rites of passages I think. It never really bothered me much, I got to go home from school! I always hated the shampoo, though. It smelled on my head for days. I do believe in washing everything though, even if you don't have too. I think if you do some searching around online you could find solutions for ridding your home of the critters. My mom used to use a spray concoction (of vinegar, I think) and spray the couches and stuff. But all bedding and linens and clothing was washed in hot hot water!
