Congratulations! It seems that one of your family members has welcomed an unwelcome guest: lice. It’s a rite of passage for every parent, right?
Or maybe not. Chances are, your stomach is churning at the thought of those creepy crawlies invading your home. Trust me, I’ve battled moths, ants, and even fleas, but nothing compares to the nightmare of a lice infestation.
So how do you navigate this ordeal? Forget the typical how-to guides found everywhere online; I’m here to provide you some emotional support via a cocktail pairing guide for each day you face this lice crisis. Because let’s face it, sometimes the best remedy is a good drink.
Day 1: The Discovery
On this chaotic first night, you’ll likely spend hours researching treatments and making frantic decisions. Time is not on your side for crafting elaborate cocktails, so grab that box of wine and pour yourself a generous glass.
Day 2: Combing and Cleaning
Get ready for some serious nit-combing with a trusty metal lice comb. No modern treatment replaces this old-school method. Your cocktail for the night? An Old Fashioned. It mirrors your mood—bitter and deep, just like the experience.
Day 3: Nit-Picking and More Washing
By now, you’re painfully aware of how tedious this process is. After washing every item in your home and bagging your kids’ stuffed animals, brace yourself for another round of nit-picking. Tonight, you’ll need a Bloody Mary to keep your spirits up.
Day 4: A Louse in Your Own Hair
Oh no! After checking your kids, you discover nits in your own hair. As you apply the treatment, you need a pick-me-up—Irish Coffee will do just the trick to keep you going.
Day 5: Nit-Picking Everyone’s Hair
Welcome to the apocalypse of lice. Your kids have binge-watched Netflix for what feels like a lifetime, and you’re out of patience. Skip the fancy drinks and opt for quick tequila shots to get through this madness.
Day 6 and Beyond: Who Knows?
At this stage, there’s no solid timeline for getting rid of these pesky bugs. You might be in the clear, in which case, pop open some champagne or prosecco! If you’re still in the trenches, consider stocking up on a gallon of vodka for the long haul.
The Final Day: All-Clear
Finally, you’ve received the good news. The lice are gone, and you can breathe easy. After weeks of chaos, a simple beer sounds just right as you unwind and enjoy the peace.
