[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish our school did lice checks on everyone. We had recurring lice last year for what felt like forever. I was told that the school nurse can't check every student or even every student in a class where lice are reported. That the nurse has to check and allow kids back to school if they're lice-free. But no proactive checks, which essentially guarantees that the lice will be back straight away. [/quote] That's because the school's tell people to use the over the counter chemical treatments. Studies show that 95% of lice in this country are now resistant to those pesticides. It's totally pointless advice and leads to never ending cycles of contagion. It worked great in the 1970s but 40 years in like 40 million years in lice evolution.[/quote]
