How to tell my parents i have head lice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Words work: This is a common, easily treatable condition.Since the bug can only live on humans, you got it from another human.It does not imply poor hygiene or bad habits.Your parents may also be infected. There are some over the counter and prescription treatments available. Get it treated before you spread it.
