Keeping kids with lice in school

[Anonymous]

Every year there is a crazy out of touch parent like OP. Every single year. Comb often. If your kid keeps getting it, it isn’t on anyone else. It is because you don’t keep combing. This isn’t something you can outsource. Poison doesn’t help. It hits every school. It has been decades since it was recommended that kids stay home. If you keep having the problem, complaining just lets everyone know you stopped combing. Don’t be that person.

Live spreads so quickly, I don’t want my kids bringing it home.

Lice are less “contagious” than most people think

Lol. Come to my classroom and sit next to the kid with lice and then say that. Nearly every time a student in my class has lice, at least one other person gets it. Five year olds don’t have great personal hygiene and many don’t understand personal space either.

My DD had it for over a month. A rash on her neck the pediatrician even thought was allergic. We stayed with family over Thanksgiving. Noone in our house or there's got lice. 5 kids between 5 and 10.

You joke but lice are a white people thing.

Lice cannot see skin color. They are repelled by some hair products. We used the fairy tale tree oiled products with hair spray and gel and never had lice when mine were little.

Black people rarely get lice. It’s definitely a white people problem.

Hispanic, Asian, American Indian? It's only a white person problem? GTFO with your idiocracy

I think you mean idiocy.

That's terrible you risked bringing it into someone else's house. Stop making excuses for not treating your kids and maintaining their hair.

No, it’s not. You sound racist. It may be all the hair products.

You should consider google before saying something stupid like, lice are racist. Black people are much, much less likely to get lice than white people.

You do sound racist. Less likely is different from saying its a white person thing.

That's great, but it costs money and after you invest in a lice meister, a quick comb in the bath once a week is free.

You need to do both. The comb can catch lice but it's not preventing lice. You need a tree oil product or to add tree oil in your hair products to avoid lice.

That’s because you are a parent who cares. Not every parent does.

DP. Lice in the US have a more difficult time attaching to coiled hair types, and products can also make a difference. However, lice are evolving to attach on Type IV hair and infest in several African countries, so this is likely to change with time.

And Black children in the US can still get head lice, too.

African American people can still get head lice. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source state that African American people get head lice much less frequently than other people. The reason for this may be that most head lice in the United States have claws that more easily grip onto uncoiled hair.
...
Head lice seem to be more common in Caucasian, Hispanic, and Asian American people than in African American people. For example, fewer than 0.5% of African American schoolchildren experience head lice compared with about 10% of schoolchildren of other races.

Caucasian, Hispanic and Asian. They don't seem to reproduce in textured hair.
