I gave my little cousin a scalp massage, but then i remembered her mother telling me that she gets lice off and on from schoolmates. I then went to the bathroom and washed my hands with soap and water, and then wiped them off with paper towels, although admittedly i didn't clean under my nails.
Maybe about 15 minutes later, I scratched my head without thinking and now i'm scared that i could have possibly exposed myself to lice. my cousin doesn't have a breakout of lice right now as far as i know.
Would the lice/lice eggs have survived a hand washing, wiping and then 15 minutes?
