freaked out by this!

Ok I had to go to walmart today for some stuff and it was a zoo! Well making this short I'm checking out and this lady comes up and plops down a lice treatment thing and I look at her scratching her head! I felt bad but now I'm horrified. Could I get them from her? What do I do?

Head lice don't jump so you would had to have your head right next to her head so they can get on your hair. Don't worry.

I will. Just got some. I'm weird every time I hear the word bug or see some one scratching I beging to scratch. Had lice as a kid and mom chopped all my hair off. Don't wanna do that. But may just color my hair too while I'm at it. Good chemicals lol thanks ladies

There is a shampoo that is a preventative wash for lice. I would buy it just to ease my mind. When I worked daycare and we had a child who had it I used it cause I was so paranoid lol

U would have to get pretty close to catch them but to be on the safe side buy a very fine tooth comb (preferably white if u have dark hair) then when u wash ur hair leave the conditioner in and comb it through checking the comb for lice after every stroke. Use a white piece of paper to bang the comb out onto if u see anything in the comb x
