I think that the article was encouraging, especially for low - income families. I do want to add that in the article that I read there was no mention about cleaning the house thoroughly by vacumning and washing items that can be washed. Getting rid of head lice does not just involve the head but also in - conjunction with a good house cleaning.

I do not have a subscription to your magazine but as a school nurse this interests me very much. I am currently battling pediculosis in my prek school.

Our school is funded through NYS and we have both TPK and UPK students.

Thank you, Elizabeth Thuman, RN school nurse/parent coordinator

This is great news for all the school nurses who spend

hours in the treatment and prevention of head lice.

A nonchemical treatment is a method I would highly

encourage my student's families to try along with

other steps necessary to totally eradicate lice from

the home.
