Last day of the term last year. I found headlice in Ashton's hair. I pulled around 30 odd live lice from his hair, 2 from my own and a couple from Kameron's. Ashton had slept in the same bed as both Kameron and I the night before. I then proceeded to treat the whole family, hot wash sheets etc and all that joyful stuff you have to do.

I thought back and remembered he had used a brush belonging to one of my best friends kids a couple days prior, and wondered if that was how he caught them. I spoke to my friend to let her know that he had lice, and she said "oh i've lost count how many times my kids have had it these holidays" I know for a fact she doesn't wash bedding and doesn't treat the WHOLE family after one of her kids has it. She had admitted that in a previous conversation about lice.

Ashton was scratching last night, and Andrew said "oh he was scratching a bit today as well" I checked his hair last night and couldnt' see anything. He scratched again this morning, so I sat him down and found a live lice. So I did the whole conditioner and running comb through and ended up pulling out 3 live lice. Then started with the whole treating etc again

The thing is. The kid who I suspect he got it from after using her brush before, he was with for a few hours on Friday afternoon. I also noted her scratching at school on pick up one day during the week. Can't remember if that was the same day or the day prior though.

I am getting so I am really resenting Ashton playing with my best friends child if he is going to get lice when he does. It just seems to coincidental that prior to Friday the last time they played together he got lice as well.
