Ack!

A sup walked by as I was bagging for another cashier and let me know there was a customer at my register.

A customer that I learned, upon closer observation, that was covered with nits. And I don't mean just at the scalp and nape of her neck, either. She had shoulder length hair and the ENTIRE length was covered with nits. Mark my words, if I catch them there will be hell to pay.

Though it's likely my imagination, I've had a creepy-crawly feeling about me ever since dealing with her

I've never heard the term "Nits" before. Is it another word for Lice?

[GingerBiscuit]

yep, headlice. I once kept picking up a nasty case because a friend of mine had siblings still in primary school (he was a lot older), his mum wouldn't treat them, and they loved his dreaded hair. I didn't even know I had them for ages, kept trying to treat them normally, and they kept coming back, and then the little sods all died off as a side effect to me bleaching my hair.

Nits are the eggsacs that lice lay on teh hair shaft.


That HAD to have been a horrible infestation because lice prefer to lay their nits close to the scalp for warmth.


-shiver- its roomate all over again!
