… some kid in the daycare has lice.

We went through this a couple of years ago: one kid had a tonne of lice in his hair, my wife got infested and ended up shaving her head. The other kid and I lucked out.

Regardless of what happens, we’ve got some short summer haircuts in our future.

It seems lice can only live about 24 hours without blood. Theoretically you could save yourself the entire disinfection routine (e.g., sheets, pillows, brushes, etc) and go get a hotel for a few days after you treat y’all’s hair.

What about their eggs? Do they lay dormant and waiting for us? 😮
