Predrag, I appreciate your honesty! :D
I was expecting something like that. I know lice infestations from kindergartens and schools. Becoming infested is not a sign of a lack of personal hygiene, so nothing to be ashamed of. Recently I drove by a Danish school and they had put a large sign near the front door saying: "Vi har lus!" (translates: We have lice), so every visitor was informed that he might take home some unwanted "pets". :lol:

What wonderful captures, of what is or should be a very familiar subject............a few years ago, I was asked to construct a wooden head louse as part of a Health scheme.

I am a toy maker, so made it with moving claws when a string was pulled, the clinic loved it.

These photographs make my head itch just to look at them.......UK residents of a certain age, will remember the.......Nit Nurses.....who visited every school, with hair tearing combs and evil smelling chemicals.

Thanks for the memories.
