A Conversation for RobiComb - the Coolest Reason to Have Lice

Yes, the little darlings have been in my hair too

Yes, I've got kids and so I've had lice, plenty of them. They are little sods, arn't they? First time we had these we got some superpower chemical shampoo but I really don't recommend that for anyone. It was foul and we all suffered as a result.

We use a relative of the Robicomb which must surely be seen as more sustainable and effective, and is obtainable in any pharmacists. It's just an ordinary, metal nitcomb. I'm not sure this Robicomb thing is really necessary. Forget the battery, and also forget the very inferior plastic versions. Regular combing with this baby has eliminated all nits and no recurrance ever lasts for more than a few days. If ever one is found, we pop it down the sink followed by some hot water. None have ever come back, nor complained.

By the way, do headlice actually do any harm? Do they spread diseases? Do they suck blood? Or are they just passengers?
