Stop Lice Craziness! We need to stop causing our kids anxiety about head lice.   I hear parents tell their kids  all the time, “Honey, don’t play too close to your friend” or “Suzy if you are going to have a play date don’t hug, don’t play with each others hair, don’t sit too close to her , don’t lay on her bed or couch or chair ect……….”.   Really what they are saying is…Read More

More lenient rules on head lice have some schools jumpy. That is an article in the LA TImes today.  I agree with all of it but that fact that they still want their students treated with the OTC Pesticide Shampoos! Why the ignorance of this course of action still continues is beyond me.  It puts kids at risk with their health but just as bad it does not work.  A study in the  New England Journ…Read More

School Lice Policies  are beginning to slowly change.  Most school districts have no nit policies which means after treatment all the bugs and eggs must be gone to re-enter school.  This is near impossible to do with the OTC chemical shampoos.

Schools, with the recommendation of the American Association for Pediatrics, are changing their school lice policies across the nation.  For years schools would routinely do head lice checks and send kids home if anything was found.  This often meant kids would loose up to a week of learning as parents tried to get all all nits out of the hair. The American Association for Pediatrics recommend…Read More
