my daughter went on a missing trip to ky and worked with a lot of small kids . she came home with lice . she sounds like an amazing person , but the lice is no bueno . yeah , i was so embarrassed by it , even though i know how she got it . we had to tell the mission trip group leader so that they could notify the rest of the group . overall 8 of the 10 girls that went got it . oh wow . i did n't know it could spread like that .
Having lice is often seen as a source of shame and embarrassment.
