NITMIX

This is just a short not to say the blog is back online after a long break and a lot of heartache.

 The simple story is that I messed up upgrading my old MovableType blog! I messed up so badly that I locked myself out of the Head Lice Advice Blog and over wrote the old one so I couldn’t restore it either. Big lesson on backing up correctly and also about delegating jobs to folk who really know what they are doing.

Funny how that stuff we know really well seems so simple while getting off our area of expertise throws us and leaves us floundering. That’s a good lesson for the head lice advice blog too. Parents don’t  expect their kids to catch bugs. They don’t go staring into a child’s hair every day just to see if there is a problem brewing up. This means a first bout of head lice usually goes un-noticed for many days…..usually weeks before becoming evident. So the problem is severe by the time parents take any action at all.

The first reaction is often panic or revulsion, neither of which help much but they are understandable.

Next comes a leap into action and a visit to the pharmacy or the doctor and the purchase of a bottle of “instant lice cure”

We’ve all done it. I am not being hard on parents here, it seems like the right thing to do but the results are often disappointing, even confusing. They are rarely successful. Then comes the deeper research to understand the problem of head lice a little better and to understand why the head lice aren’t gone. That is usually when parents discovery NITMIX and the pages and pages of advice and stories about curing head lice.

In the next few weeks I will be updating the head lice advice blog more often and talk some more about getting this simple problem licked.
