Head Lice - No Longer Reason to Keep Kids Home?

Head lice report says schools should ditch “no nits” policy!

Head lice is a subject that tends to rear its ugly head about this time of year. A head lice report released yesterday from the American Academy of Pediatrics, suggests children with head lice should no longer be kept home from school.  The crutch of the report concludes that keeping children home from school has been ineffective in preventing the spread of head lice.

“Report Says its OK to Send Urchins to School with Head Lice”Most schools have adopted a “no nits” policy which sends children home who have contracted head lice and won’t allow them back to school till they are clear of head lice. But, the new report says that by the time scratching is happening, others have already been exposed to the head lice little varmints.

“It’s only a bug on your child, not in your child like the flu or pneumonia,” study author Barbara L. Frankowski, MD, MPH, professor of pediatrics at the University of Vermont in Burlington, says in an email. “Healthy children — which includes children with head lice infestation — should be in school learning,” reports WebMd. “We’re stressing still that healthy children should be in school and schools shouldn’t have no head lice policies,” said Barbara Frankowski, an author of the updated guidelines published online in the journal Pediatrics on Monday;

How do kids get head lice?

“Most cases of head lice are community acquired, often at sleep-away programs or parties, and not uncommonly in the summer,” Devore says. Head lice can’t hop or fly. Instead, they crawl from head to head. “Totally preventing head lice is probably impossible, if you have a normally active, social child,” Frankowski says. “Head lice is a normal risk of childhood, just like colds and scraped knees.”

Head lice are admittedly, nasty little creatures, especially when found on the head of your beloved little ones, but doctors agree they are not a health hazard and they don’t spread any disease.  Also, having head lice is NOT a sign of uncleanliness. I know from experience behind the chair that Mom’s immediately panic with the diagnosis of head lice and fear that they are to blame. It’s an irrational fear that is absolutely not true . . . so forget about it . . . head lice are not discerning creatures and can show up on absolutely anyone.

How can you help prevent head lice infestation?

The most effective preventative advice when it comes to head lice is to teach your children not to share combs and brushes. Familiarize yourself on what to look for. Look for signs of head lice on your children by looking through the hair. Check behind the ears and throughout the hair for signs of live head lice. Also look for their eggs, “nits” that are clear in color and are attached to the hair shaft.

    Chelsea Clinton, Straight or Curly Wedding Hair?



    .

    Straight or curly wedding hair for Chelsea Clinton, what will it be?

    .

    Remember this picture?  It was a makeover for a lifetime for Chelsea Clinton, the year was 2002! Chelsea Clinton was about to turn 22 and was invited to attend the launch of Donatella Versace’s Spring/Summer collection at the Thetre National du Chaillot in Paris. The three women then, 43 year old pop legend Madonna, 29 year old Hollywood celebrity Gwyneth Paltrow and almost 22 year old graduate student and daughter of the former U.S. president, Chelsea Clinton, attended this fashionable event together.

    .

    It was reported that Versace’s own hair and makeup team went on the attack, straightening Chelsea Clinton’s hair, applying just the right make-up, dressing her in a chic pantsuit and then plopped her down next to Madonna and Paltrow. This event was an unveiling of sorts for Chelsea Clinton, who before this had long been mocked for her modest dress and demeanor. Spectator’s agreed she graciously held her own next to these two celebrities and I think she did so too!

    .

    Before this makeover Chelsea Clinton was probably remembered more in the eyes of the public as the awkward, gangly teen with braces and unmanageable curly hair. It couldn’t have been easy growing up in her situation with all eyes watching her live out her tween years!  It seemed like she went from duckling to swan almost overnight, and the straightening of the hair was a big part of the transformation.

    .

    Now, about to become Chelsea Clinton Mezvinski, the bride to be has earned a great deal of respect from the public who has watched her grow up. The Stanford graduate, who also acquired a Masters from Oxford, has also been credited to be the fabric that held together (for lack of other words) a highly publicized, rather shaky marriage of her parents Bill and Hillary Clinton.

    Speculation builds daily on details of the July 31st nuptials. What will Chelsea Clinton wear? Will she convert? Who made the guest list . . . blah, blah, blah . . . What we really want to know is . . . How will Chelsea Clinton wear her wedding hair . . . curly or straight???
