… 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.

    Hedrin doesn’t use pesticides. It’s made of dimeticone and is very effective from my experience.

    “PDMS is effective for treating lice in humans. This is thought to be due not to suffocation (or poisoning), but to its blocking water excretion, which causes insects to die from physiological stress”
