Any parent can tell you that dealing with an outbreak of lice can be a complete nightmare. For Heidi Klum though, she knows the feeling as she recently discovered that she might have traveled the world while having lice in her hair.

According to World Entertainment News Network, the single mother-of-four made the revelation in a new interview. The German beauty says that there's a good chance that she might have given lice eggs to a dozen or more people that she contacted in the last several weeks. Three out of her four children were sent home from school after a nurse discovered that they were infested with head lice, too.

She said, "I'm at work (with my) hairdresser (and) I said, 'Can you please check if I have lice?' They're looking and looking and they're like, 'No, no, no, everything is fine', so I'm like, 'Great!' All four of my children, they're at home, they're all being picked... In all these years, that has never happened. It's a nightmare! You have to wash everything. And then I come home and I sit down and the lice fairies (assistants) look."

Klum added, "Sure enough, (I'm) covered in lice eggs and lice on my head. Who knows how many months I've had these already? I mean, I went to Australia to New Zealand to London to New York! I went all over the place! I took them global...! It's a mum's nightmare."

Meanwhile, despite being one of the most beautiful women in the world, earlier this year Klum admitted that she thinks she is "too curvy" to be considered a high fashion model. The Germany's Next Top Model hosts apparently thinks she isn't in the same cateogry as other runway models such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen.

"I was never a catwalk model," Klum told the Sydney Morning Herald.

She added, "I never really fit in the clothes. I was always too curvy, I was always a lingerie model, even when I was still in Germany when I won my modeling contest I would do lingerie and swimsuits because I was always too curvy for high fashion."
