NITFLIX
Nitflix nurse comedy: she smacks picnic nits with a phone. Gag only — never hit a child’s head.

We know this cartoon is not clear. That is why this is here, in writing: never hit a child with a phone. Never hit a nit with a phone either. The phone is for looking — a torch, a magnifier, a camera. It is not a paddle, a comb, a lotion, or Nan’s preferred method.

Black-and-white gag: old-timey grandparents try to bop picnic nits with a smartphone that would not have existed. Not a method. Never hit a child with a phone.Not a serving suggestion

We know this cartoon is not clear. That is why this is here, in writing: never hit a child with a phone. Never hit a nit with a phone either. The phone is for looking — a torch, a magnifier, a camera. It is not a paddle, a comb, a lotion, or Nan’s preferred method.

As tempting as this may be, and as effective as your grandparents may swear it was, corporal punishment is no longer an accepted form of nit treatment. Things have changed. Bonnets, butter churns and the Clydesdale are optional. Hitting children is not a protocol. Wet-comb. Ask a pharmacist. Keep the phone in your hand, not on anyone’s head.

The lice don’t get a sequel.

Meet the nurse. Spot the picnic. Then do the grown-up bit: a careful look, wet combing, and a pharmacist — not a diagnosis, and not a phone to the skull. We know the cartoon is not clear. The disclaimer is not optional.

Start a check

No checks yet. Good light, a calm look, then wet combing if you are unsure. The picnic lice can wait.

Nitflix does not diagnose head lice and is not a medical device. The cartoons are a joke. Never hit a child — or a nit — with a phone. The phone is a camera, not a serving suggestion.
