Periodic Reminder to Check Your Child for Lice and Nits

It is that time of year where we come across head lice in the class. This is a reminder to check your child’s head for lice periodically - checking weekly is a good habit. Head lice are tiny insects that live in the hair and on the scalp.. They do not fly or jump, but they can crawl from one person to another with close contact.  Lice lay eggs called nits that stick tightly to the hair near the scalp, often behind the ears or at the back of the neck.  Nits look like small white or brown specks and can’t be easily brushed away.  If your child is scratching their head or neck more than usual, it’s a good idea to take a close look.  Head lice are common among school-aged children and can happen to anyone - they’re not a sign of being dirty or unclean. If you do find lice or nits, your pharmacist or health care provider can help you choose a treatment. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, including retreating in 7-10 days if indicated. Additionally, it is essential to comb your child’s hair with a lice comb daily for at least 2 full weeks to remove nits.  Following this treatment plan is the best way to keep lice from coming back. 

Please feel free to contact the health office if you have questions about sending your child to school after an illness.
