My daughter got nits twice at primary school. We treated her in the garden, with some kind of medical shampoo and a good nit comb. This was nearly 20 years ago so the shampoo treatment may be out of date. The nit comb still works.
The second time it happened we all got nits. I was horrified to be infested. I had never had nits when I was a boy. However, I manned up. We all helped each other to get clean. Fortunately it was during the summer.
It’s still a family joke, that we touch our heads together and go, “pew pew pew”, the sound of the nits jumping from one head to the next.
“Life Is Dirt,” I tell my wife.
