So last weekend we took a family vacation to Cape Cod. My sister, her friend and her friend's family, and my brother's three kids (he and my SIL had to work) all stayed in a tiny rented beach house. My mom and I stayed in a nearby hotel. We had a great time going to the beach, playing mini golf, barbecuing, etc. At the end of the weekend we dropped the kids back home, and my sister returned to Sydney where she lives with her Aussie fiance. So we all got to spend time with my 2 nieces and nephew (whom we rarely see), and their parents got a break. Win-win, right?
Well, two days later my brother sent an email informing us that all three kids have lice. He thinks they probably got it at the beach house. They all washed their hair with medicated shampoo, and washed all of their clothes and linens. Even after all that, they found eggs in my nephew's hair, so they shaved his head; luckily, he likes the look
My bro then suggested we get checked and inform the beach house owners of the situation.
My mom is a teacher, so she had the school nurse check her out (she's clean). I don't want to have to pay a doctor just for a lice check, since I didn't stay at the beach house. Still, my scalp feels a little itchy. Anybody have any tips for self-examination?
