A New Meaning To "Die Hard"

Fletcher's school sent 56 kids and 4 teachers home yesterday with lice.  There are only about 135 kids in the whole school.  Thankfully, Fletcher did not have it.  But his teacher did.  They have been dealing with this lice issue since before Christmas.  The lice that have invaded this area are resistant to the prescription treatments that doctors can give and other remedies like nit shampoo.  That's just a little scary.  People are having to resort to the old fashioned treatments like Listerine, mayonnaise, and Cetaphil.  Many of the little girls in our school have long hair.  I feel for those moms who have to comb through all of that hair to treat them.  They aren't deadly but they sure are stressful.  One mom said she spent over $400 in dry cleaning because she had to launder all of their bedding some of which could not be washed in the washing machine.  I'm pretty sure homeowner's insurance doesn't cover that nor does medical insurance.
