lice

Is it just me, or is lice more prevalent nowadays.  Could it be because schools are no longer allowed to perform scalp checks due to privacy acts?  I remember those dreaded days in primary school.  It was usually right after summer break when the lady in the white coat took her wooden sticks and ran them through my long hair.  I was so afraid that they would make me a ‘cast out’ by finding bugs in my hair and then I would have to cut all my hair off.  Dramatic….yes.  I was probably looking out the window at some birds when the nice lady in the white coat explained things so we wouldn’t be terrified like I was.
