Bklink: Forget Bedbugs, How About Lice?

September 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

link-asterisk.jpgBedbugs get all the press, but what about that old standby, lice? “We arrived at the Avenue N stop on the F Train, and walked a few blocks to a residence at 306 Avenue N with a sign that read “Head Checks in Back”. Back we went, and were greeted by Dalya Heral, who has over twenty-years in this business. She immediately made us feel at ease as she pointed us down her stairs into the clinic, as she went up stairs to finish cooking breakfast in her home. It felt like someone’s home, because it is. She has an area downstairs specifically to check and treat lice. It is clinical but not off-putting enough to kill the spirits of two boys who, despite being buggy are happy like crazy to be missing school, no matter the reason. When she came down to us, she wrapped the boys in capes, put them in the chairs, and within 10 seconds on Boone, knew he needed treatment. She was a little cautious saying so with Roan, but strongly suggested we comb him out, saying if she didn’t find anything she wouldn’t charge us.”–Pistols and Popcorn
