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

Better safe than sorry

Humans can't even get lice from dogs so what she did was just plain stupid

She's probably just over sensitive about cleanliness don't read into it too much

Lice don't like a dirty environment, so...

You should talk to your mom about it and tell her how you feel about what she did.

Your mom is a prime example of what is wrong with cat people.

... Just because she's not a dog person doesn't mean she's a cat person.

that sound very considerate

Wait so that's not a normal thing to do...? Whoops.

No, they can get either. It's just not transferable to humans

No, head lice can only live on humans.

They can get lice (most animals can), but lice are very species-specific, so dog lice will not live on humans, and vice-versa.

I take it she hasn't had much experience with dogs.
