Seriously, Lice?

While on vacation Hollace developed a rash on the back of her neck. I just chalked it up to a sensitivity she was exposed to while camping. I wasn’t going to bother tracking it down since it will probably go away after we get back to our element.

It didn’t. Then I suspected a fungal infection with her long hair, showering while camping and leaving her wet hair wet while hot and humid. By this time we had Emma and Sarah over for their annual visit.

I meant to take her into a doctor to get it checked out but with all the festivities with the girls, including a overnight trip to Chicago, it didn’t happen.

On Sunday RAW and Hollace headed out to Fort Wayne while I took the girls back up north. I loaded Hollace up with some anti fungal cream and told RAW to take her into one of those nurses at Walgreens or Redi-Med if her rash got worse.

The next day, Monday, while at Farm Camp a councelor said it was LICE. Just wash with some special shampoo and you should be good. Or at least how it sounded from RAW. Lice isn’t that easy to get rid of that I knew of. This was our first time dealing with it and with Hollace’s long long hair, it wasn’t going to be pretty.

I texted Cindy about the lice and she then found a few lice on Emma and some nits on Sarah. Oh joy, we have an infestation. Do I have it? Probably but there is no one to check my head. I bought some Rid and sprayed the furniture and washed everything but I still don’t know contained they are. I don’t itch but that doesn’t mean anything.

Today I bought a RobiComb that zap the buggers from your head. It got pretty good reviews. I think between my severe dandruff and a sweaty head I am throwing the comb a bunch of stuff to generate false positives and this after I put the insecticide shampoo on the night before. Either that or I am so invested it is ridiculous. I haven’t seen a sucker yet. I tried the comb later when I wasn’t feeling so damp in the hairline and it seemed to be ok.

Sherry is suppose to come tonight for our girl weekend. I can’t say for sure if we are clean over here. I told her to text me before she left (she is still at work) and I will give her the 411.
