First, it makes you feel like a bad parent. Do I not bath my children enough? Do I have a dirty house? Do I not comb my child's hair properly? How could I be so negligent to not see this coming? Of course not of this applies. Anyone... anyone.... can become infected with head lice. I don't care if you a millionaire with servants and the most expensive hair care products. I don't care if you go to a salon for professional treatment. And I don't care if you are homeless and live in your car. Anyone can get head lice.
The biggest problem is that you can't get rid of it with one treatment. There are live ones, dead ones, and their eggs. One treatment will only take care of most of the live ones... but their little eggs are left behind and you have the problem all over again. In the mean time, those little live ones could have made their way to a sibling,so while you are concentrating on the one with the lice, the other is growing her own little lice colony. It is a never ending problem and it seems like you will never get rid of them.
And it's disgusting. You coat your child's hair with conditioner and then comb, comb, comb and pull the little buggers off the shaft of the hair... so your comb is filled with lice. And don't forget to sterilize that comb or can put them right back into a new head of hair when someone uses it.
All I can say is that when someone utters the word L-I-C-E... I run!
