Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my son kept quiet about having head lice for a week. He's 14. 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
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, my kids and I discovered the party hats from the party we just went to were infested with lice. FML
Today, 2 hours before a 13-hour flight, I found out I had head lice. I'm a 24-year-old woman. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I are so close that we share everything. This now includes his head lice. Thanks, dude. 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 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 had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

that's better than in your hair, surely you can just shave your chest hair and get rid of them

At least you know you have a clean chest, as lice prefers a cleaner environment :). I hear people use peanut butter to remove lice.

that's body lice , head lice can not live on the body just like pubic lice(crabs) can not live on the head.

If the the son has head lice and that's where OP got his "body lice" from wouldn't it all be the same type of louse? Sure, generally, body lice are on body hair and head lice are on head hair, but I don't think it's because they cannot live elsewhere. I think it's actually just to make a distinction between the two types.

Body lice and head lice are two different species. They look almost identical, but body lice are bigger. I think technically it's possible for head lice to live in chest hair, but it doesn't make sense they would go to OPs chest and not his head. Unless OP is bald, then that makes perfect sense.

That's what I was thinking. That maybe he just has no head hair. Head lice can't live off of the host for very long so maybe they had to just attach somewhere.

Get that special shanpoo...make that hair all nice and soft. And kill the lice. Both will help the lady situation. :)
