The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) came out with new recommendations stating that children with lice and or nits pose no health threat to other students. A “no nit” policy is not necessary and the child should remain in school. Missed days of school do not out weigh the consequences of a case of head lice. The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) says, “No disease is associated with head lice, and in-school transmission is considered to be rare.” While I agree with the first part of this statement, I ask you as a parent or a school nurse if you believe that “in-school transmission is considered to be rare”? It is not rare, School is a popular place for the transfer of lice from head to head. Lice Lifters and The Nit Nanny All Natural Products are a great way to stop this from happening. They are a great prevention too - use The Nit Nanny Preventative Mint Spray every day.
