Today, this guy I like let me wear his favorite baseball hat that he never takes off. I returned it to him later, only to find out I have lice. FML

Today, I needed to buy a new helmet. When I got to the sport shop, there was only one left in my size and preferred color. 30 minutes after buying it, my head starts itching. Turns out I paid $40 for lice. FML

Today, at my retail job, I tried on one of our hats. My co-worker told me I shouldn't because I could get lice. I laughed it off and told her I didn't believe her. Man, do I believe her now. FML

Today, I had a snowball fight with a friend. In the midst of the game, I stole her hat and put it on my head, ignoring her pleas. Apparently, she was trying to say she had head lice. I can now verify that. FML

Today, after finally spending the night with my longtime crush, it's as if I can still feel her fingers caressing my hair. But wait, no, that's just the head lice she gave me. FML

Today, I thought about going to visit an old girlfriend of mine with hopes of getting a little head. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be head lice I'd get. FML

Today, I found out that my wife gave me head lice on purpose so I would have to cut off the ponytail that I've been growing since '99. FML

Today, I was tutoring kids at an elementary school. One kid messed up my hair. I said, "Why'd you do that??" He said, "I have lice, now you have lice too!" FML

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

heehee just as I read this I saw an ad at the top of the page for cat medicine to prevent ticks and fleas saying "stop the itching". XD What a coincidence!

Just to clear up any misconceptions: -You can get lice outside of head to head contact! Lice can live up to 24 hours off of the head. -Dyeing your hair will not solve your problem. The lice certainly wouldn't like the dye, but it won't kill them completely. -Wearing a hat might help prevent catching lice, but isn't foolproof (clearly). Also, if you get lice, wearing a hat will not lead to them just dying off. Just use lice shampoo and a nit comb every 3-4 days until the problem is completely gone. It takes 1 week for a newborn louse to grow up enough to lay more nits, this is why I say 3-4 days instead of the usual 7 days. Also, if your skin is up to it (check first), leave the shampoo on for longer than the recommended 10 minutes. In my experience (as a mother) the shampoo usually takes at least 20-30 minutes to kill anything. I personally prefer an hour. Do that and you won't ever have to deal with reinfestation. Oh and please let your close friends, family and school know, or somebody might just pass it on back. Its polite, and not as embarrassing as some may think. Lice happens.

Or just carefully pour a bottle of rubbing alcohol over your head an rinse with warm water you will most definitely kill a lot that way plus it's a lot faster... Well it was for my niece anyways...
