Head Lice
Every parent of school-aged children has gotten the letter they like least from school…”someone in your child’s class has head lice.” Although no one likes to talk about it, head lice is not uncommon in children, who are frequently in head-to-head contact with other children while playing, in sports, at sleepovers and camps.
Though they are a (big) nuisance, lice do not spread disease. They are not a sign of poor hygiene. Lice cannot fly or hop; only crawl. They only survive for 1-2 days off a human head so they will not continue to live elsewhere in your home. Although lice treatments kill live lice, none will kill all the eggs. This is only done with combing, combing, combing; with a special lice comb. Combing is the key to getting rid of lice. In order to make sure every egg is gone, checking your child’s head for the next week is important. If even one egg is missed, the cycle will start all over again.
For more information on lice and treatment visit the Morris School District (parent resources, health information) https://www.morrisschooldistrict.org/Domain/4 or the CDC’s website https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/parents.html.
