No one is eager to discover they have head lice, but actor Jenny Mollen discovered her infestation in a truly terrible situation: moments after boarding a five-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York City.
Mollen, 45, the wife of ‘American Pie’ star Jason Biggs, recently revealed her shocking discovery via an Instagram post filmed from her airplane seat on October 29, in which she is shown with a plastic bag on her head.
‘I’m on the plane with Caroline and she just looked at my head. And remember last week when I told you that my head was itchy and I thought I was having perimenopause symptoms? Mollen said, before the sting was added.
“Guess what? I have fucking lice. I can’t even handle it. This is crazy guys, this is crazy. We have a five hour flight. I carry a bag that keeps these on my head,” she said, pointing to a pair of airplane headphones.
Although According to the website, 6 to 12 million people are infected with head lice every year Cleveland Clinic, Mollen insisted she had never had lice.
She said that because her head had been itching for a while, she thought the lice had been “living on me for two weeks.”

Some of Mollen’s followers called her out for going on a cross-country flight with head lice.
“Well, I certainly wouldn’t be on a plane with untreated lice if I announced this. Not cool,” one wrote, while another warned: “Do you know the airline can sue you [de-lice] the whole plane, I would shoot it down real quick.
Another said: ‘That’s disgusting. You’re going to spread that all over the plane. You should be ashamed and you make a video laughing about it.
The next day, Mollen posted another video revealing her entire house “infected with lice.”
She added: ‘We are removing the lice. Last night we applied the shampoo and killed everyone,” she said, referring to the insects, not her family. “Now there are dead bodies lying around and they are being pulled out of my head.”
Mollen said that while her husband only had two eggs in his hair, their two sons did complete infections.
She also apologized for going on the cross-country flight with lice.
“I know, the airplane seat, that’s a shame for the person sitting next to it. I want to be clear: I didn’t know I had lice until I was on the plane. “I thought I was going through perimenopause and for about three weeks my scalp was just itchy,” she said.
She then jokingly threw her husband under the bug, er, bus, for not noticing the lice after she asked him to check.
