Common Pediatric Parasites LICE
TRANSMISSION: Head lice are mainly spread by contact of a child's hair with the hair of a person with a lice infestation. Places where transmission is common include schools, camps, team sports, and slumber parties. Practices, such as being in close contact with one another, as well as sharing infested clothing, including hats, scarves, coats, and/or hair ribbons, place children at risk of infestation. Additional risks include sharing infested personal items, such as combs, brushes, towels, pillows, lying on a bed, couch, carpet, or stuffed animal that has recently been in contact with a person with lice.
ASSESSMENT: Head lice infestation is best discovered by finding a live nymph or adult louse on the scalp or hair of a person. Because lice are very small, move quickly, and avoid light, they may be difficult to observe. Head lice and nymphs can be visible with the naked eye, although use of a magnifying lens may be helpful. Nymphs are often confused with other particles found in hair, such as dandruff, hair spray droplets, and dirt particles. However, nits can't be shaken off the hair shafts. Besides being present in the hair, head lice may also be apparent at the nape of the neck, and behind the ears. Signs and symptoms which may indicate infestation usually include itching, tickling, feeling hair movement, and small, red bumps or sores from scratching. Head lice are not known to transmit disease. However, secondary bacterial infection of the skin, resulting from scratching, can occur with any lice infestation. Eradication of head lice requires chil- dren with an infestation to be treated promptly, as well others in their household and those who have had close contact with the child, to be treated simultaneously. Over-the-counter pediculicides (medications that kill eggs and/or active infestations), such as pyrethrin or permethrin, are usually the first-line treatment for lice. Prophylactic treatment is often recommended.
EDUCATION: Once head lice is suspected, parents should be encouraged to call their child's pediatrician or pharmacist for OTC treatment recommendations, as well as other measures that should be taken to protect the entire family. Parents need to wash articles that have come in contact with the infested child's hair. Hats, scarves, pillowcases, bedding, clothing, and towels should be washed using hot soapy water and dried on the hot air drying cycles. Lice eggs are killed by exposure for 5 minutes to temperatures greater than 53.5°C (128.3°F). For items that can't be washed, such as couch cushions, they can be stored in an air-tight plastic bag for two weeks. Personal articles, such as combs, brushes and hair clips, can be washed in hot soapy water. Regularly vacuuming furniture and floors may be helpful, although head lice can't live longer than 24 hours off their host.
The Health Centers at your school are trying very hard to keep this under control, but many variables come in to play. We ask you to please read this newsletter and use this information to help your family and your school with this common parasite. We will do regular head checks at school and please do regular checks at home. Unity Point In School Healthcare Staff hopes this will help ease your mind about this very pesky problem.
Thank You, Pekin, District 108
