Lice Treatment
Jeez, you’d think one would be embarrassed to rite about lice and lice treatment options from the point of view of one who had head lice once. But, hey, I was a kid when I got the creepy things; I was one of hundreds of kids who are subject to the epidemics that are inevitable in school; and if my parents used something that worked, why not share the positive results of one kind of lice treatment?
So a letter comes home with me one day when I was, oh, five or six. It reads that the school is experiencing an epidemic of head lice, and offers solutions by way of what to do, what not to do, and even what particular lice treatment solutions to use. My parents FREAK out, rush the whole family off to our one-room camp, and begin the most miserable of lice treatment regimes I could imagine. They isolated me from the others by putting me out back by the camp’s outhouse, doused my head with what was and I think still is one of the best lice treatment medicines on the market—called RID. It’s in a clear bottle in a box with a stop sign (a red octagon) with white letters. This stuff burned like ^%#$@#%^, took—to a kid--an interminable amount of time to seep in and kill lice and eggs, and smelled disastrous. Then, the combing out of every hair follicle (as the nits and lice cling to, thrive at the base where the follicle and skull cap meet) took forever.
But really, to an adult, the RID was a fast, and more importantly, EFFECTIVE lice treatment solution. And by the way, the studies and stats show that lice “favor” clean heads, so the implications of having head lice should not be that you are a poor, dirty think who not only bring on the lice but pass them around. To the contrary: lice are very common; they are very easily traded or “spread”, and they are nothing to be personally ashamed of.
The shame manifested in the infested and his/her parents and families is interesting. It makes the victim in need of head lice treatment hide, zip the lip, and fret over such values as cleanliness being next to Godliness and all that. But while this antiquated morality and this self-flagellation is absurd on one level, on another level it makes sense. To be afraid of mice might be to be remembering at some past-life or psychic level the pandemic disaster that mice and other rodents once brought (in London by way of the mice carrying the plague). So to be ashamed of lice might be, actually, a way to ensure the perpetuation of a healthy human species. Shame (and fear) should not be such a great motivator. Goal-orientation, here, to get rid of infestation with an effective lice treatment is…or should be.
