Yes, alive and kicking, and air holes pricked into bag. Are there any other requirements???

I actually thought Mom was going to argue with me about her LD having lice, so I picked it off to show her.

I was missing a good lice thread. Just sent info out via email to parents as there is no outbreak and I want the info given sans-hysteria so it may be appreciated. I say 3PM tomorrow. GdBSN, are you taking said specimen home if it's demise doesn't occur by tomorrow afternoon? Thanks for this valuable research.

I'm thinking it'll be exactly 24 hours from plucking.

In my area, the "super lice" story circulating again on the local news. It makes it sound like the lice have grown into 6 foot tall monsters with 2 heads instead of just becoming resistant to treatment. Resistance because you just keep throwing bottles of it on their head but NEVER COMB. It is all about the comb, the comb, the comb!!

A friend of mine said maybe these "super lice" are really lice infected with the Zika virus as once they bite people, everyone's brains become very small!

I love this TX- I think I hear my brain conjuring up a catchy little jingle..."It's all about the comb, the comb, the comb!! :singing:

Your Zika virus comment, that made me giggle!! This is one of those things that school nurses can truly appreciate!! :sarcastic: :yes: :nurse:

(I can just see a bunch of us huddled around the copy machine, our desk, or wherever a good spot to congregate would be, sharing this news with each other. All the while, (almost) hoping that a teacher over hears us :blink: !! :cheeky:
