One Louse, Many Lice
Hayden Clarkin ’13
In December of 2012, Pomfret had a lice outbreak. Almost everyone got lice, besides me and a handful of other people. Coconut oil, hair nets, and tea tree shampoo was used by everyone. We had to go home to Christmas Vacation because of it.
One of the most amazing things was that many Pomfret students and faculty volunteered to shampoo infected people’s hair for hours. It was one of the nicest acts I had seen at my time at Pomfret, that people would take the time to help people and comfort them as they felt embarrassed.
