More on Nits

If anyone has read some of my previous posts they would have read my bit about nits.

Just been reading something else and discovered that they were the 3rd plague on Egypt from God. :

Ex 8:16-18

16 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,' and throughout the land of Egypt the dust will become gnats." 17 They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats came upon men and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats. 18 But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. And the gnats were on men and animals.

(from New International Version)

Commentaries refer to the "gnats" as lice.

Guess we just have to live with them.

Am not! They just keep rearing their ugly little heads (and offspring) every now and then. Bit like the Womans Weekly - a periodical of sorts.
