You ever had head lice as an adult?

[wittymilf]

Hi my name is witty and I have head lice. Yup got them from a Tangi… kinda standard NZ thing. Ffs 🙄

[Lliam]

Nope. I never had lice. I had scabies in my pubs for a couple days in my teens. I didn't catch them from a girlfriend. They must have gotten on me from a toilet seat or something. I had to apply cream for about a week.
Crotch crickets - gross!

[mstbooblover]

No, I didn't have head lice as far as I know, but to be honest it's quite common in schools. A good trick to get rid of them is rubbing your hair with mayonnaise to catch and kill the lice at the same time, at least if you don't want to shave your head completely. Sure you will smell of fries for a few days, but at least your hair will be spared ;0) Vaseline should do the trick as well.

Get some organic diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it over your pillow and on your couches and carpets each day. Leave it a few hours and vacuum. The bed just change the sheets every couple days. It will prevent you from getting reinfected.

I've never experienced this. Sorry witty! Hopefully there is a safe treatment?

[wittymilf]

Yeah, I hate all the chemicals so currently just regular nit combing when I condition my hair. I don’t have them super bad like the kids get so hopefully I can get in too if it with this method.

[Emiliamazing]

Best of luck to you! I hope you're having a nice week

[NotTacocaT6969]

Never had head lice, but I know there are treatment centers dedicated to the removal of head lice.


There’s one in the city nearby.

[NathanDavis]

nope... even when the little ones in the family and relatives got them, I didn't catch them again... not since my elementary days

[AngryCarl2]

You got head lice from a ceremonial Maori funeral or wake?

[wittymilf]

Yes, pretty common when you all hang out together for days

[exitseven]

No, never had lice. They probsbly would die if they bit me.

[OfMiceandMen]

I shave my noggin completely so likely not happening.

[wittymilf]

I reacon I’d look pretty bad with shaved head.. I just don’t have the ears for it

[OfMiceandMen]

Hehehe... yep, not advisable.

[AimeeKyle]

No. I have never had lice before (knock on wood 😁).

[CubaPirate]

Unfortunately yeah from one of the kids who got them at school

[Anonymous]

Never. Not even as a kid either. My dog had fleas one time though.

[Ms_Facesitter]

No, but I hope you get rid of them soon :(

[wittymilf]

Thanks.. I’m slowly winning the battle I think!

[Wise4myage]

No, all I know is that it exist and its gross.

[wittymilf]

Yeah I’m not stoked !

[Guardian45]

Uhhh. NO! NEVER! What's a Tangi?

[NotTacocaT6969]

Tangi is a place in Pakistan

[wittymilf]

Tangi is a 3 day ceremony we have when lived one dies generally held on a Marae

[wittymilf]

@NotTacocaT6969 also this 👍🏼😎

[Guardian45]

So someone went to Pakistan, got lice and died. What's a Marae? If you get lice and die, why does it matter? I didn't know lice feed on the dead.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Nobody got lice and died,

Tangi is the name of a place in Pakistan but is also the name of a funeral ritual.

She went to a funeral and someone or something there gave her lice.

[Guardian45]

@NotTacoca6969. Oh. Okay. I'm ND, so sometimes I get confused. Thank you for the clarification.

[Guardian45]

What's a Marae?

[wittymilf]

In this terminology it’s a meeting house where you all stay together in tough times

[wittymilf]

Google them, they’re beautiful

[Guardian45]

KEWL! Thanks!

[Fireguy17]

[LiamJHayden]
