Except, surprisingly, Sweden where I live now. Lice outbreaks at schools are a very common thing. This surprised me, as this wasn't a thing even in my own ass-backwards country of Moldova.

- Xylakant 6y agoIt’s a common thing in German schools and kindergarten, we’ve been through that twice at least. I’d be surprised if that was different in Moldova, I’d rather expect that there was more stigma attached and less people talked about it or similar effects.
- mrwh 6y agoI recall lice breakouts at my UK school. (Though now I have to remind myself that I'm galloping towards middle age and that was at least thirty years ago.)
- klondike_klive 6y agoThe "nit nurse" coming to the school was a big deal. I only remember it happening once or twice (it was probably every year on some predetermined date) but each time a whispered thrill went through the whole school. It was like a celestial visitation.
