Disappointed! I checked a kid for lice a little while ago and they were clean, nothing...not nit one! Nothing to catch and put in my baggie! :sarcastic:

Patience Grasshopper...the future will soon bridge this gap of brief disappointment.

I've been wondering for weeks if I am the only school nurse to pin baggies of lice to my bulletin board. The corpses are still there. I use them for training purposes. :lol2:

My plan is to move the specimens to scotch tape. I worked hard to de-louse a kid. Feels like a trophy. Too bad I don't make $100/hour like the Lice Doctors. That is my future career.

I tape em to an index card along with a hair encrusted with a nit and give it to the host child's parent. "this is what needs to be removed"

Love this job :)

With repeat students, my new approach is to put one of their LDs critters in a plastic bag to show them. I have had parents come in and argue with me that their is no way their child has lice. Key words here, repeat students, non-compliance and denial.

Anyone else think this sound disturbingly like Buffalo Bill's moth collection in Silence of the Lambs?

It puts the lotion on its body. It does this whenever it's told.

Would anyone judge me if I said my friend and I have matching death head hawk moth tattoos because of silence of the lambs?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
