So this may not be the most exciting of updates, but hey at least you know I’m not bullshitting you.

So as it turns out pretty much nobody knew how bad the infestation was or didn’t know about it at all. A good number of relatives just thought the kids had like a small cold and figured they’d be fine. But when I dropped out, people thought that was weird because I love my sister and I always go to parties she hosts. That’s when my mother explained that it’s a really bad lice outbreak and that my sister was trying really really hard to get it under control before thanksgiving. That’s when a bunch of other relatives started going “Yeah I think I’m gonna drop out too.” And before long it was pretty much just my parents, my sister, and a very small handful of other relatives who were still going. So my sister ended up cancelling and apologizing to everyone. She even called me to tell me she was under a lot of stress and she was sorry about how she spoke to me, which was nice.

I did send her some of the advice you guys sent. I can’t really credit any of you so if you were one of the thousand who suggested something, I guess feel some sense of achievement lol. She took the kids to a lice clinic and she’s having the house fumigated, since it’s been going on for so long. They’ve been staying at a hotel for a few days now while they wait. I don’t really know that much about the situation beyond that, but that’s what she told me. Overall it seems like nothing spread to anybody and she might be able to get everything under control.

Edit: For the love of all that exists, I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE LICE ADVICE
