Head Lice - It's True

Specialties School

Published

Tuesday morning I was brought a bug in a zip-lock bag. The bug had been just removed from a head. It was a, robust, adult head louse - judging by it's size. It appeared to be very agitated as it was quite active. OK, so I decided to perform a scientific experiment; school nurse myth buster if you will. After poking several pin-holes in the bag I push-pinned it to my bulletin board. Yesterday, when I left, the louse was alive and well and was still displaying agitation, flailing its louse arms wildy in the bag; I thought I noticed some obscene gestures. This morning I must report the louse has perished and, thus, my school nurse myth buster scientific experiment has proven a head louse will die within 48 hours if off of a human head. You have my express permission to share this scientific data with any hysterical parent or staff member.

Oh deers!

Have you been stalking me and a certain other poster on Blue? She is so resistant to my glue gun. :bag:

May I also state that I can no longer open up the SN forum while at work and feel "safe"?

And I'm certain that Jen Elizabeth has addressed this in her Sex Ed class.

No I actually just floated over to Ole Blue just a couple moments ago. I am used to navigating the app...the Break Room confuses me. (Sad, I know)

And I totally get you being afraid to read this forum at school.

You guys are hilarious.

And brave.

And apparently multi-talented.

Oh, and twisted. In a totally awesome way.
