I went to the Rite Aid for soda
Jul. 25th, 2020 09:57 pmand I noticed a display of lice shampoo near the front.
And it hit me. We know that the lockdowns affected the spread of flu this year.
If, come the new school year there isn't a new school year, and all the extracurriculars are closed, and the churches and Sunday schools, and the camps, and the kids are mostly staying home with their bored parents... do you think we might finally be able to make a dent in the lice scourge?
It's easy enough to get rid of lice if you're willing to give the entire family buzz cuts. It's hard to get rid of them with any other method, though combing is effective if you actually are diligent about it. People mostly aren't willing to shave everybody's head, nor spend an hour per day per head combing out lice and nits, but if you're not going anywhere or seeing anybody....
