Are you really talking about lice, or do you mean bedbugs?

If you mean lice, do you mean head lice, body lice, or pubic lice?

[paganel]

Yeah, on second thought, and after some google image searches, I think I was talking about fleas, which I had mistaken for "body lice", I think. Bedbugs are a whole another beast which I won't wish on my worst enemy to experience.

I've had lice before, both head and body types, and they were so benign and not bothersome that I allowed them to stay voluntarily out of kindness and generosity.

They are really amazing little creatures.

Enough HN for today.

If you loved them so much what made you rid of them?

[forgotmypw17]

I didn't purposely get rid of them, though I stopped nurturing them as much due to human partnership. They just disappeared over time.

[nickkell]

Could it be that you passed the lice on to your new human companions? Fickle friends indeed!

[forgotmypw17]

No

To each their own, if it's not a pet peeve then it's a pet

what, my six year old memories seem to strongly disagree with this. like an itchy rash all over your head

[meepmorp]

That might be you having a (more intense) immune response to the insect bite than OP. Or that OP is joking.
