That's how it works at my kids' school. My daughter's class kept passing it around last year and she literally could not get rid of it. I think we had 4 rounds, including prescription lice shampoo from a dermatologist. It is embarrassing to report it, but if you don't other kids will go undiagnosed and pass it around. My son got it once, but my dog never did.
