New guidance on how to treat kids with lice

Why the AAP says lice is no longer a hazard.

[@ford4life069]

Yeah, kids need to be out of school if they have lice. Period.

[@emilyjean222]

I think the fact that the schools don't notify parents that their kids are in a class of 20+ other kids some of whom have lice, is the reason there is an uptick in cases, not because kids put their heads together for selfies.. what a stupid world we live in.

[@docsavage4921]

"...insurances should cover professional treatment services." And there it is. There's always, alwaya, ALWAYS a money angle.

Dealing with it now. 2 weeks later. As long as there are no bugs i have been told my daughter can go to school. This is a pain in the butt for sure.

[@pmarie72742]

Just found out my kids have it. I don’t send my kids to school if they do, and damn sure don’t let my kids stay the night with someone if they have it ..which is where it came from now. I use tea tree oil shampoo to try to prevent it, but here we are again. Having 5 kids doesn’t help, but parents not thinking this is a big deal definitely isn’t helping either. This is expensive, time consuming, and most importantly your child has to deal with it.

[@marcspencer800]

Why on earth would you send your kid to school with this?? My son got it from a kid at school whos and I’m pissed off beyond belief.. to the point I’m confining the parents in front of everyone if need be about it when they are at the school picking up their kid. If your kid is sick or has something that can spread to others don’t be a douche bag and keep your kids home! There is absolutely no reason their son should of not only came to school but took my kids hat and intentionally put it on. We didn’t know that happened until two days later but by then it was to late.. I don’t care who I embarrassed or if it’s considered being a bully you bet your ass I’m confronting them in front of whoever so it doesn’t happen again

I agree 100%!

[@mauigirl31350]

seriously???

[@Tigerbalm1310]

Stfu they probably all got it from your house

[@marcspencer800]

@@Tigerbalm1310 actually cps had to be called because the kid constantly had them throughout the school year.. it was actually pretty sad the lack of care his parents showed and gave to their kids.. they ended up shaving their son and daughters heads I couldn’t believe it

[@davidmilton5887]

Is this like having fleas ?

[@mauigirl31350]

no

[@robloxgamerlegend7000]

So it can fcking spread like a heat wave

[@goldentoast69]

Heat waves been-

[@JaneDoe-qz2xd]

I bet she bags the bugs and gives them back to the nurse to drop in kids hair when they do their checks… she’s expecting… bc she already knows hahaha

[@Johana-e8o]

I do have lice😢😢😢😢

[@irisjennyperez]

Where are u located

[@conservativelens]

Filth. . .

[@ellerythe8th]

Not true. It’s proximity.

[@alexatfaudavie]

Lice love clean hair.

[@divaindie7775]

Actually my dear they love clean hair nothing to do with filth . When you have kids you’ll see if you’ll say filth

[@shawk8365]

Moron 😂

[@nicoleelder4134]

Bathe and Shampoo your hair DAILY!

[@ellerythe8th]

Doesn’t matter. I do and got them from my daughters friend. As did she.

[@alexatfaudavie]

Lice actually love clean hair.

[@Itsvennyyy]

That will just make ur hair fall out 😊

[@shawk8365]

What a retard comment.

[@Itsvennyyy]

I've had lice for like almost my whole life and i go to school with it most people just ignore it its really not something someone should be mad about i think u people just have to mind ur own business if u see someone with lice ok

[@AnonBiscuit]

It is your own business when the lice get onto your own head or my child's. Lice treatment is not cheap, especially if it's out of control and you need help from a clinic. I will not stand for my child to live with head lice.

[@Itsvennyyy]

@@AnonBiscuit I did everything nothing works I even got bullied so bad that I had suicide in my head I'm not being rude but I just think u shouldn't treat people with lice any different.

[@JaneDoe-qz2xd]

People like you are the reason that this idea is so volatile and immoral. It’s everyone’s business when u spread parasites in the community and we have to keep spending money while all u do is play w ur bugs and let them run ramped across your head. I bet you’ve got a bunch in ur nails too don’t u? Life doesn’t revolve around u u should think of others when u step out covered in parasites with the intent to spread. Not all sharing is caring.

[@goldentoast69]

​@@Itsvennyyy damn I feel bad for u :c pls don't have those thoughts

[@halo9lady]

It’s totally treatable, if you do it right.
