Last weekend was beautiful and we survived Yom Kippur. It was just after the last post below, after dinner. Sunday evening I noticed Davina had been scratching her hair a lot. Come here and let's take a look...
Now I didn't really know what I was looking for but there were these tiny white dots all over her hair. Daniel took off for the emergency pharmacy (everything's closed in Alsace normally on Sunday). Meanwhile, I took a look at the other two little heads... I had to call Daniel. Buy more!
Talia seems to be the source. She had a horrible infestation. I was pulling out lots of female bugs (I read up on the internet and looked at photos). It was disgusting!! They, of course, got to bed late...
The product didn't work. We had to buy the "real stuff", the chemical junk which gave the kids a rash. Wendy arrives from Australia in the middle of all this. Luckily, the kids rarely go up to the top floor so I'm not too concerned but still...
The laundry was a nightmare and there's all these small details like the carseats. I had to cover where theire heads touched. It gave me nightmares of bugs and sure enough, I found live eggs in mine and Daniel's hair too (no bugs but a female at least had left a calling card).
Ronnie was NOT cooperative, complaining about keeping the stuff in his hair...for a whole 40 minutes. It did tingle but it wasn't that horrible. He got some in his eye and that's when he decided to throw a fit. Davina kept touching it. The stuff has Milathion (sp?) which they sprayed over San Jose when I was a kid. A cancerogen, great!
