Hello, I think Dss may have headlice and be trying to get rid of them himself without telling anyone.
The reason for this is, I work with vulnerable children so comb my hair every Sunday with a nit comb as a precaution. I do ds's too as he's at nursery. Last Sunday I combed my hair in the morning then washed the comb thouroughly. Then I came to do ds's in the evening and there was a live louse in the comb. I thought I must have missed it so cleaned it, did ds's, then re checked mine and there was nothing. After rechecking mine I disinfected the comb and checked in by holding it up to the light.
This morning I went to do my hair again and there were 2 live lice sitting on the comb. I googled and they only live for 1-2 days off human hair so they can't have been there all week, and couldn't have been eggs I don't think as there were no live lice except that one I found in the comb and I had disinfected it. Ds is only 3 so couldn't have done it himself and dh has barely any hair lol.
How can I/ dh broach the subject without causing embarrassment? Or can anyone suggest another reason they could be there?
