HaHa. Go to beauty school. See how much your GTC (Grossness Tolerance Level, thank you Baby Blues) goes up then.
I once did a client’s hair in foils. Scalp inspection had turned up nothing. Well, apparantly, the little buggers were desperate to get away from the color mixture in her hair. I was happily watching her processing time when I saw *lice crawling across the top foils[\I]. There was a mass lice exodus from her scalp to the top of the foils. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
We had to take her outside and wash her hair with a garden hose.
We had to close for business to resterilize everything.
I won’t even tell you about Vomit Man With Scabies. Nope, THAT story is for another day.
This is bad. The old stuff was dangerous enough. I went to elementary school in Lawrence MA (yeah, that Lawrence) and one of my classmates brought them in to share, so we all got it. Mom use RID right before bedtime, and a little got in my eye. The box just said “flush with cold water”, so we did. After a night of agonizing pain - for some reason the e.r. said not to come in, just keep flushing it with water, use ice for pain- I got to see the eye doctor as soon as the office opened. It had eaten three tiny holes on the surface of my cornea! Fortunately it didn’t do any lasting damage, and was fine after a couple of weeks, but you know what? When the doctor uses the nifty machine to check your eye, you can clearly see the reflection. Seeing the holes in your own eye’s cornea is not something you ever want to do. Trust me :eek: The RID worked great on the lice, though.
A man came into school needing a cut and shampoo. Ok, so I wash, meanwhile, I am looking at his shirt. Specifically, a substance on his shirt that looks supiciously like vomit. And smells. like. vomit.
I take the owner of the school aside and explain that this big, sweaty man smells like vomit and is making me sick. However, we don’t turn away a customer for smelling bad so I must continue with the scalp inspection. Now, his hair is very long and thick (he was cutting it short for a job, he said) so when I pull it off his ear I am very shocked to see something like this all over his ear, spreading to his scalp. :eek: :eek:
I got my teacher. School closed, again. Given the increadibly contaigous nature of scabies, I couldn’t go back to school until I saw a dermotologist to determine I had not caught them.
