We received a notice about head lice found among the students in our daughter's class. I checked her head and hair, but did not find anything. Well, lice and eggs are both so tiny, so my aging eyes might not be able to notice them, I worry.

A lice egg is this tiny (this is not my daughter, thank God!). Lice eggs are often found on hair, and lice on the hairlines. We tend to believe that if you do not keep your hair clean, you get head lice, but that is not true, I read. I did not think they have head lice in Japan, but that was not true, either. I found online quite a few cases of head lice in school in Japan, too. They jump from head to head, or via pillows, cushions, and hats. I will keep an eye on her.
