The Case of the Nurse substitute!Children’s head lice can go undetected in schools for months on end. It isn't until itching persists and/ or bugs and eggs are found on the scalp and in the hair that their lice is found. Some families get lucky in detecting lice early and get treated before the lice infestation gets any worse. There are also some families that may be misdiagnosed and get screened by a Hair Fairy Technician right away to find that they are completely clear of Head Lice. It is not a bad thing, but rather a good thing to be screened right away. In this special case a Frantic mother called minutes after hearing of her two daughters having lice. She called Hair Fairies as she picked up her girls from school and was able to book lice screenings for the whole family. As we started with the daughters, one mentioned “I can feel the bugs crawling everywhere!” We quickly came to find that they were ALL lice free and the substitute school nurse made a mistake and misdiagnosed them. We also heard from the daughters that they were referred by their best friends and the reason they wanted to go to Hair Fairies was because their friends had so much fun watching movies and coloring while getting treated for lice!
