Lice!

January
15

Good discussion today on our “Hall Monitor blog”:http://hallmonitor.lohudblogs.com about headlice. My colleague David Wilson wrote about this last month, when reports of a lice infestation at the Scarsdale Middle School surfaced. The district took steps then and brought in a company that deals with these things.


Well, we’ve gotten a call from a Scarsdale parent complaining about the whole thing and saying it persists. Let’s be honest, this is the kind of thing that freaks parents out. But how much responsibility do schools have, and how much do parents have?


Like I said, check out Hall Monitor and put your two cents in.

    We would like to suggest that head lice can be eliminated safely and thoroughly by using FDA registered Non-Toxic X-PEL Anti-Lice Shampoo & Conditioner. Visit our web site xpelheadlice.com.

    I want to say the culture shock i felt moving up here to rockland. Lice. makes me cringe. Here’s its a shrug your shoulders deal. I was from Brooklyn and for lice to be found or reported was always a shock and frowned upon.

    I remember the lice examinations from when I was a kid. I had forgotten all about lice. Never had them, luckily.

    I’m just writing to let the world know that there is a product that both prevents and kills lice. We used to use all that fancy stuff from the stores and ugh, gross. Now we use Kim’s Lice Preventative. It’s mail order. Spritz it on. Forget about it. No lost days from work or school. It’s FDA and tested in Canada. Google it if you want to find it.

    For all the Westchester people. There is a local woman in Westchester who has been “nit-picking” and helping families with head lice infestations for over 10 years. She only uses natural products, nit picks and combs. She is a lot cheaper than the companies that advertise. Remember your paying for the service of them coming to your house. If anyone needs help, call The Lice Lady of Westchester at 497-5465. You won’t be disappointed.
