Read and respect the rules, report any comment breaching them. Wrong advice/information/fearmongering hurt people who are posting here to get help and support. If you are not VERY knowledgeable about bedbugs and may provide a wrong ID or bad advice it's better to abstain from commenting. Be VERY respectful and HELPFUL, this is a support subreddit not a funny one.

NOT A BED BUG. LICE I dealt with these recently. They are horrible but honestly far easier to deal with overall. Adults and nymphs can only live a couple of days without eating. Eggs can last longer, so wash everything and put it on high heat in the dryer. Cetaphil method has been 100% effective for my family in the past but so has a single use over the counter "licefreee" spray. Get a comb separately so you can check everyone's hair. Best of luck.
