I still hate getting my hair cut for fear I'll have lice.

OMG someone else with the " I am not gonna cut you because you have lice" experience. My parent had my older brother send me to the hairdresser. They would not touch me either. But my sibling insisted if I were infested they had to shave me cause he would not touch me with lice... hmm ending up returning to third grade looking like G R Jane.

I even thought about this yesterday and it makes me sad that a bet so many of us have been somewhat traumatize do to the " horrible state" ( irony) of having lice and having adults and hairdressers who could not handle it with some commonsence AND respect. Needless to say I got teased a lot in school after that episode.
