Today, my four roommates and I contracted lice. While all our heads were slathered in mayonnaise and saran wrap, our building's fire alarm went off. FML

Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. FML

Today, while I was standing in the elevator with a few people I just met when I moved in yesterday, I felt something fall on my hair and dusted it off. It was a cockroach. None of them will come within a 1m distance to me now, because they all think I've got lice. Welcome to the building! FML

Today, 2 hours before a 13-hour flight, I found out I had head lice. I'm a 24-year-old woman. FML

Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML

Today, I accidentally bumped into the fire alarm which set off a high pitched buzzing noise that could be heard throughout the entire dorm. It went on for at least two hours and none of the technicians could figure out how to turn it off. All the girls on my floor are mad at me. FML

Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML

Keep them to yourself, buddy

Today, my sister had a friend for a sleepover. They filmed a video in which the friend was lying in my bed, singing. An hour after the girl went home, her parents called. She has lice, and had brought them to our house unknowingly. I can see each and every individual larva on my pillow. FML

Disinformation

By zzyx - 22/09/2009 03:19 - United States

Today, there was a fire alarm in my dorm. Just as I was leaving my room, a lady in the hallway told me that it was a drill and they'd be inspecting rooms, so I would need to leave my door unlocked. When I came back, my room was trashed and my laptop, speakers, and jewelry were gone. FML

I have never heard of that trick. Did it work, OP?

Next time just get the lice kit. It has a lice shampoo, a lice conditioner, a lice comb, and a lice spray. Wash all your bedding, and spray pillows and stuffed animals with the spray in the kit. All clothes that were worn or that came in contact with clothes that were worn must be washed.

Not everyone can use those harsh chemicals on their scalp. Being a Ginger, I was told it was best to not ever use strong things on my scalp. Also people with medical problems with their liver or such cannot handle the chemicals as it may not be able to leave their body. So Mayo and saran wrap is a cheap and organic-ish version of it.

You really need to use 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 shampoo and 1/3 Dishwashing liquid.

Wow mayo. Never used that one before. Lice love clean hair because it is easy for them to deposit eggs on. I have heard that warm olive oil smothers them, but that doesn't kill the eggs. I wish you luck getting rid of those pests. Good news is you will have silky smooth healthy hair after your mayo conditioning.
