But enough about Trump haters.
Your a climate denier. No doubt the outbreak is caused by man made global warming. The only solution is a tax on all fossil fuels. /S
I remember getting my head checked in school nearly every year. There were always one or two kids sent home that were found to have some. Course we lived out in a small town and most of those kids were either around farm animals or wildlife which is how they usually got it.
There was a feeling of shame if you were one of those found with it. Even though it wasn’t really anything they did wrong. and of course the other kids made fun...with the boys it led to some of the ‘best’ fights. With the girls it often was the harbinger of friendship changes.

We never got this as a kid and neither did my kids.
But my daughter got them when she was attending Bob Jones University a few years ago!
Thank micro-managers in The EPA, your overzealous regulation brought on this current bed bug/lice curse.
There is a cheap ingredient in hair conditioner that suffocates lice. But, being cheap, don’t expect the FDA to approve it for such treatment.

Olive oil will kill lice, and probably condition the hair at the same time. It suffocates them.
Vinegar will loosen the nits from the hair so you can comb them out better.
I would start with vinegar (and lice comb) because it will also clean the hair. Then apply olive oil and leave it on under a shower cap overnight. Then use the lice comb again before washing the oil from the hair.
One source I read said to use olive oil on on days 1, 2, 5, 9, 13, 17 & 21 to best disrupt the life cycle. This source also did not mention vinegar. Other sources do not mention repeating the olive oil. Other sources say you have to repeat treatment even if you are using a chemical pesticide, due to the lice life cycle.
You can use cheap, low-quality olive oil, or use a completely different oil.
Yet another gift to america from mobama.
Once upon a time, kids were shaved to get rid of the lice and nits. Will that treatment be coming back into style, I wonder?
When we were kids, we would tease each other about having “cooties,” but no one was actually infested with lice. Thanks to open borders, “cooties” are no longer imaginary.
Head lice or.......?

“Segregation was what we called not letting people with the personal hygiene habits of a junkyard dog live next door to our neat green lawns and clean houses, or send their children to the schools ours went with their hair and clothes unwashed to after we’d spent years teaching them to take a bath without being dragged there and brush their teeth.”

Bring back DDT!
Several years ago kids at school came down with head lice, so the teachers sent notes for everyone to get lice killing shampoo.
I had some real powerful DR So-and-So’s pine tar shampoo for dandruff and used it. It was so pine tary I had to use dish washing soap to get it out of my hair. It worked!
A few months later I was in a drug store, went down the VET isle, and saw this bottle. DR So-And-So’s Pine Tar Shampoo for DOG MANGE.
Same brand, same name, same amount of pine tar, same bottle.
