[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 161624, member: 1963"] Keep in mind also that kids can pick up lice from things like movie theater seats. One cheap matinee house in Chicago became known as the "Howard St. Itchhouse" for good reason. I've managed to catch the dratted things from one of my neices or nephews. Luckily, I wear my hair so short that a good combing out and the cold treatment took care of things without having to go further (my standard haircut involves slapping a 10 blade on my Andis grooming clippers, and a #4 comb on top of that, LoL). Marg is right about lice being extremely species specific. Unlike fleas which will bite humans if their preferred blood meal isn't available; Lice have no choice in the matter. It is impossible to catch/give lice from/to an animal. [/QUOTE]
