Today, my girlfriend came over to meet my parents. Everything was going fine until she said she owned a dog. My mom then immediately attempted to check her scalp for lice. FML

...dogs cant even get lice they only like human blood....

there is a seperate species of lice that like dogs only, but youre partially correct

Dog flees can't live on humans, or any other animal that's not canine.

um, what does a dog have to do with headlice?

If this is how your mom reacted to your girlfriend having a dog, your mom would have found some other way to weird her out.

W...... T......... F..................?

You need to explain to your mom that lice are species specific. Humans carry human lice, birds get bird lice, dogs get...well, you get it.

Looks like we haven't come that far from monkey social grooming. At least they bonded.

You can't get lice from dogs, and even fleas is highly unlikely. Lice is species specific. There are different strands for dogs, rats, cats, and humans that are not transferable unless you are that animal.
