YES! One of my most embarrassing conversations was sitting my ex down and saying "umm, babe...I think I gave you head lice." Because I'm the coolest little sister ever, I babysat my niece and nephew one Summer right after they got out of school. Only to find out their school had just had an outbreak of head lice! I didn't know the following week when I went to see my ex, or even the week after that. Ended up costing us somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 to get a professional delousing with some crazy heat tool. The perils of being an auntie!

Did you get bites on your scalp or neck?

Nothing that I was aware of. All that was really hurt was my dignity. We caught it pretty early, though, so I didn't have a severe case. But they definitely laid their nasty little eggs on my hair root!
 
Yes, I lived in a hippie travelling community for a while when I was in Australia, most of the men had long hair and no sense of how to groom it, so it was nearly impossible to control. Especially for those with dreadlocks. Some of the guys used to be like "oh, I just washed it, is that not enough?". I learned a whole load about headlice, because I'm a total nerd like that, and went around traumatising everyone and lending them conditioner and combs. I was really on it about getting rid of them like a lot of the other girls, but I have very thick, long, fine hair, at the time down to my waist, as well as having a couple of hair wraps, it was nearly impossible to get them all and I either kept catching them off other people, or I could never get rid of the last egg and would have to go through the process again a few weeks later. What's worse is I already have a sensitive scalp so I never really knew what was what. Eventually I found a treatment that worked (about the last one I tried), that killed the bastards and I never had any problems with them again.

I think I only got them once as a child when I was very young, but a nasty girl once went around telling everyone I had lice, until my mother found out and apparently drew her to a corner and threatened her. I remember catching them very briefly as a teenager and getting rid of them instantly. I never found out who I got them from, but a girl in my year didn't deal with them and got them seriously bad. I have always wondered if I gave them to her as I had a lot of friends outside of that school, it is a thought that makes me feel pretty guilty. Then again, there is an element that if you get them, you are responsible for sorting them out in a timely manner.

While I got incorrectly bullied about it and it used to be a huge deal for children, I am pretty clinical about it and don't feel embarrassed. There's no shame in it, I have lovely clean hair and lots of people want to hug me, of course if the little critters get the chance they'll want to have a party on my scalp. But I am a responsible adult who will do the right thing and sort it out when I get the chance, as well as telling everyone I might have hugged about the issue.
 
Interestingly enough, lice prefer clean hair, as it's easier to move through. I wash mine maybe every two weeks, so it's a very unfriendly environment for them. I had them a few times as a kid and teen, and they were easily enough to get rid of.
 
Nope. My hair as an adult is very oily so it's not very conducive for lice, especially since I don't wash it but twice a week. I had it a bunch as a kid.

That gel stuff the give the kids doesn't work on adults? I allow employees to let kids come to the office after school when they don't have someone at home. I have no kids but still got a call from the school principle warning me because so many kids were listed as being dropped at my offices. They were nice enough to send the nurse over from the school to check on everyone and she handed out some terrible smelling gel to some people. I figured that was the modern solution.

Yeahh, I know what you're talking about. It's like some harsh chemical that they use that smells nasty. My sister did that with the kids...it didn't work. They were super lice and they'd adapted to the chemicals.

I wanted these things GONE as soon as possible. What they did with us was they used this really crazy heat tool and went through each section and applied heat (which kills the lice AND eggs). Then they went through with a comb and tea tree oil for good measure.

It was humiliating and awful, and my hair smelled like a really bad scented candle. But I never saw a louse again!

Vinegar? My mom used it when I was a kid and it worked. Also wash everything in the house. Everything. All the carpet, drapes, clothing, sheets, pillows, etc. Everything. That should work.

Ahh, but see the lice have adapted a lot since you or I were kids (I never had them as a kid) and stuff like vinegar just doesn't work as much. These were super lice.

It may have been overspending on my part, but I really wanted those fuckers gone, haha.
 
My little one got lice a few years ago, I swear I wanted to burn the house down. Haha I didn't get it but was super paranoid about it. I ended up cutting her hair(it was down to her butt and I cut it about shoulder length cause she has the thickest hair ever) and went through it with a hot flat iron on every tiny piece of her hair to try to burn them out haha. There is a company where we lived at the time that actually does free checks and removal (it's crazy, they do it all by hand but have 100% success rate guarantee) I got one of those crazy lice Combs for her. When they checked her they said they only saw a couple dead ones and no eggs so apparently I did burn them out with the flat iron haha! It was wild. It took me forever to stop being itchy and paranoid I was going to get them!
 
I got it twice as a kid. The first time I had this awful short permed hair so I wanted it cut off super pixie short anyway. After that i grew it out very long and got it again! My mom went through the pain of ridding them for me without shaving. I think she spent a month bathing me in that stinky bath stuff and picking at my head with those lice combs. I'm really afraid to get it again when i have little kids. I don't know how I would cope having to cut my hair off as an adult.

I'm now having awful flashbacks to the chicken pox and gigantic shots as well. :nailbiting:
