Did you know head lice can live up to 48 hours off of your scalp? The M family thought that head lice could live in your environment for weeks on end! After finding head lice on their little ones they took the drastic measure of temporarily staying in a hotel while they fixed the problem. After a week they decided to see out the help from the Hair Fairies. Only little L was considered severe and we told mom that she was clear but she needed to come back for a second treatment in 3-4 days. We also told her that it was ok to go back home and mom stopped me before I could finish the sentence: "I am not going to risk it, we're staying in the hotel until it is ALL gone." During L's last treatment, after being confirmed head lice free she exclaimed "Oh good, we can go home now, I was starting to feel a little too fancy." The M family went straight to their 'humble' home that night and little L felt just fancy enough to sleep in her own bed that night.
