Head lice are areal nuisance! They're unpleasant to have and bothersome to- get rid of. Anyone. can get head lice. They have no barriers• of age, sex. race or social class,; Bead lee: will not cause ' illness or -disease, They are more a social nusancethan a health hazard. The reason school children' are more likely, to get head lice is that they . ,are grouped together at playgrounds, sports facilities day '• care ,centres,. and schools; They often share lockers, beds, stuffed animals, . combs, and hats. Parents need to be vigilant in checking their child's hair on ..a, weekly basis. Daily checks are needed if the child has been in contact, with a person who has lice. When the head louse first moves onto a head of hair and gets busy laying het eggs (nits), the person infested may . not feel or notice anything unusual. Although its life span is one month; the adult louse -lives for just 10 days, during which time a t fir We're ready when you are, Use Our INSTANT FAX The Iducknow Sentinel has a FAX machine in. our office that lots you contact any other FAX machine in the world - instantly.

Thus, it is usually a 'week or twollater, as the nits hatch and the insects bite, that persistent itching and • scratching will cause complaints. Infestation' is confirmed by spot- ting live lice and/or nits,. Lice are tiny, ,wingless, flat -bodied insects, about 3 mm or 1/8 inch long :They. are difficult to see' as they tend to take on the colour of a person's hair, crawl quickly, and hide under the hair strands. Contrary to popular belief, they do not fly or jump. It is easierto spot the nits or eggs. They are tiny oval shapes "glued" in- dividually onto the hair strand, close to the scalp. The hal of bangs, crown, behind the ears, and on the nape of the neck are favourite hiding areas. Nits are - often mistaken for dandruff but are not so easily removed. If one member of your household is hosting these bother- some insects, then the rest of the family members and close contacts should be carefully _examined. Chances are if you share hairbrushes, combs, or any hair. items, sling . your hats and coats. together in the front closet, or have any direct head-to-head contact, you'll also be sharing the treatment shampoo, creme or " lotion. These are available without a prescription at your pharmacy. Happy anniversary to .Bob and Theresa Campbell of Courtney Crescent in Point Clark on Oct. 8.

This torte -consuming job definitely requires bright lighting (sunshine Or a good lamp), patience, and a sense of humour. • The third Utak in the treatment.is the "housekeeping* duties, neces- sary because lice and tits: may have relocated themselves temporarily on pillowcases, stuffed toys, brushes and combs, or hats. As these little insects can live off the body for up to•two days and the nits up to 10 days, the family will be very busy; washing clothes, towels, bee linens in very hot water and drying in a hot dryer: Dry -cleanable items and stuffed toys can be placed' in a plastic bag and sealed for two weeks; - disinfecting combs, brushes and other hair care items in either head lice shampoo for an hour or hof water (65 degrees C) for ten minutes; - vacuuming carpets, upholstered .furniture and car seats. Fumigation is not advised. It is essential that parents take responsibility for their own children and be on the lookout for these unwelcome guests. This means checking children's heads weekly, throughout the year, whether a problem is suspected or not. Daily checks are needed if your child has been in contact with someone who has head lice. The sooner head. lice is identified, the easier it is to treat and control.. Children should be taught that they use their own combs :and brushes and that anything that is used or worn on the head should not be shared with anyone else. If your child becomes infested (and the chances are that this will occur at least once in their school years), it is important to inform parents of your child's playmates and .school- mates so they can be alerted to check their children. Remember, head lice is a common problem and can, happen to anyone. The impor- tant thing is to clear it up as quick- ly as possible. Other parents are depending on you to check your own children.
