Got Head Lice? Five Awkward Situations You May Face

“What is the most awkward situation you have been in your life, until now?”

No, this isn’t a job interview question although imagine if you had to recall an awkward situation in front of 3 strange people, evaluating everything you say.

This isn’t even a question asked by friends in their ‘getting to know each other stage’. If anything your monthly sleepovers and drunken confessions must have taken care of this part of the friendship.

A potential love interest could ask this question in a bid to know more about your life. Truth is, everybody faces different encounters and awkward situations that are the most horrible in their mind.

Some are universal – when you arrive late at a party and everybody is deep into their own conversations, when you think someone you know vaguely is looking in your direction and you wave, and more. Then there are some awkward situations that you face because of head lice… actually there are a lot of such situations that wouldn’t have taken place if not for head lice!

#1: “Ma’am, We Cannot Style Your Hair… It Is Teeming With Lice”

Many hair salons in Florida have a policy in place that lets them turn certain people away from their establishment. People with lice aren’t given service whether for hair styling, cutting or even a simple wash and blow dry.

Imagine being turned down for a simple hair coloring treatment because the stylist found a few nits attached to your hair strands. How embarrassing!

#2: “Your Daughter Has Lice… Please Collect Her from the School”

All parents of young school-going children dread receiving the ‘lice note’ i.e. a piece of paper that declares your precious child has head lice.

As per the No-Nit Policy followed by schools and childcare institutions in Florida, parents are required to have their kids treated for head lice removal.

Entry into class is banned until proof of lice removal isn’t given in the form of a certificate awarded by professional lice salons.

#3: “Um, There is a Louse Crawling On Your Shirt Karen”

Believe us, this isn’t a conversation anyone would want to have with their date or even someone attractive of the other gender. Not only is this revelation mildly embarrassing but could potentially ruin your prospects with the person in question.

Having lice is horrible there is no doubt about it! People will automatically assume you are a dirty person who doesn’t bath in weeks or follows basic cleanliness rituals. In actuality, anyone can have lice… even the head school nurse handing out lice notes!
