[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS reports lice. I still deep condition and comb out my kids’ hair with a flea comb every 2 weeks, no matter what. I assume lice is just endemic at school; there’s always a chance of outbreak, and I’d rather catch it early. I have found that many parents do not understand how to properly treat lice, so the same outbreak just keeps going around. [/quote]

Our DCPS constantly has lice circulating among the long-haired girls but thus far it hasn't hit my short-haired boys.[/quote]

I also think the girls like to do each other’s hair and tend to be more affectionate (hugging/leaning heads together) so it spreads easily among them.

I’m being serious when I say it’s endemic— I assume at least a handful of kids, if not more, have lice in every grade, at all times. You don’t see signs of lice until late in most kids so by the time they’re seen, they’ve been there a loooong time. Weeks, usually. So that’s why we do the regular comb out. Lice is not such a big deal if you know how to deal with them. [/quote]
