The article reminded me of some of my favorite head lice stories.
One evening, about three years after receiving my professional license, I had a parent walk in with a sandwich-sized ziploc bag. Inside it was about a dozen little critters (still living) that the mother had found on little Susie's head. She wanted to open the bag so I could get a better look. I told her that opening the ziploc wasn't necessary since I, Pharmacy God, was able to identify them with a single glance. Sent her home with a bottle of Nix and a tear-off sheet on how to clean the home during a lice infestation.
A few years later while working at a pharmacy in the middle of the United States largest Amish community, the Amish had a humongous outbreak of lice. We were ordering four cases of Nix every day, and running out of it by 6:00 PM every night. Our wholesaler had to ship additional Nix in from other distribution centers just to keep our pharmacy stocked. Every time a script for Levi Raber, Eli Swartzentruber, or Mary Yoder came in, we inspected it to make sure no little bugs were crawling around. Of course I would walk up behind my data-entry techs and gently touch their hair just to see them jump.
And during my first winter on the job, a dancer from the gentleman's club on the other side of the street came in with a small plastic container filled with water and one of these....
...and said that they were all over her pubic area.
And she wondered why her boss wouldn't let her dance.

Over at the Pharmacy Times web-site, there's an article on the facts and fiction surrounding head lice. It's title....The Facts of Lice. So of course the TV theme song got stuck in my head.
