Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML

Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it makes you feel any better OP, most lice prefer to infest clean hair. Although it would have been embarrassing for your friend to give you a heads up on the lice situation (no pun intended but whatev..) she should have told you anyway. Unless she was treating the problem and thought she shouldn't bother, which means she should have bought a new brush... This is your friends fault for not telling you, and your fault for sharing personal items. I guess you need to be warned not to use peoples chap stick/lip stick/lip gloss too..

Evacuate the lice! Migrate to Angelina Jolie's vag, they'll be able to live, generation after generation.

Do you share toothbrushes with other people too?

I think I learned when I was in elementary school that you don't share personal items like that. Of course you can still get lice anyway, but the things they teach you when you're little still apply when you're an adult. Just don't share razors too, because a shampoo might not be able to get rid of what you can catch from those.

YDI for sharing a hairbrush. That's how head lice spreads!

Which is why I never use other peoples hairbrushes, or let anyone use mine. But looks like you learned your lesson now, huh?

Anyone can get head lice.

you really shouldn't use other peoples personal items. unless you ask them if they are clean and if you really have to. and lice really like to infest clean hair. so it's not dirty just needs to be taken care of.

Yikes! Sorry that happened OP, but that's definitely why you don't use combs or hairbrushes that belong to other people. Don't waste your time and money on Nix or Rid, they never worked for me or anyone I knew, and it takes so much time to nit-pick after. The only thing that got rid of the lice forever was cheap coconut shampoo, like v05 or suave. : ) I used it for a couple weeks. They never came back, and I didn't even have to use one of those tiny combs to get them out. Good luck!
