At the end of spring break, your kids might be bringing back something more than just good memories of that family vacation. Holidays, it turns out, are a time when head lice spread.
Any time kids’ noggins are in direct contact with each other, or when parents and children spend time cuddling, lice have a chance to crawl from one head to the next.
Melissa Shilliday, who owns two NitPixies hair salons in Northern California, says she often sees an uptick in her lice-combing business after holidays or when popular movies for children come out in theaters. At the salons, for $115 per person, a technician will comb lice out of the client’s hair with a special metal comb that has closely spaced, narrow teeth and then follow that up with a treatment of certain oils from plants.
“It’s always slow a couple of weeks before a Pixar movie comes out,” Shilliday notes.

Your honeybee queen is the most critical member of the colony. She is the egg layer, work director, and it is through her pheromones the colony knows they are a cohesive unit. Without her the hive dies. Periodically, it is good to have a queen sighting just to know she is alive and well. If you have trouble spotting the queen, you can always tell by larvae and eggs that she is present. But it is much more fun to spot her yourself. [Find out how!]
I usually just give up and figure that if there’s eggs in there I’m good.
The sky is not the same shade of blue
Every single thing I believe isn’t true
Missing in a maze of monochrome
How did I get here?
How can I go home?
The echoes in my eyes of all they used to see
Burning down the world
Ashes and debris
And all that’s left of me
Non-entityTry to stand in line
Try to obey
The ghosts of what I was keep getting in the way
Staring at the sun
Blinded by the lights
Now I’m afraid I’m fading out of sightThe echoes in my eyes of all they used to see
Burning down the world
Ashes and debris
And all that’s left of you and all that’s left of me
All have washed away
Non-entity
