A: the girl if u two r in school..she is not allowed to be there! Maybe its just dandruff or dried up hair spray or gel??? Don’t judge ppl!!!! If u see her scartching her head A LOT…ALOT…A LOT then she definetly has lice!!!!!Ur dog should be kept away from woods and places where he can get fleas etc. He should wear a collar and be cleaned with speacial shampoos for dogs regualrly. U have to stay away from the girl and anything like furry things like, couches and blankets. Bcuz they can get on such objects. And if u do get lice u have to use medicated shampoo like Nix. They can get on any type of hair dirty or clean but they prefer humans above all! The girl i sprobably just poor or has bad hygirnne and it dosn’t mean she has lice!!!!! If u r not in high school then u should be getting checked for such things anyways.
