IS HEAD LICE JUST A NUISANCE?

Center for Disease Control (CDC) downgraded lice to being just a nuisance.  If you ever had to treat a family with head lice you know it is more than just a nuisance.  Lice infestations are on the rise and school budgets are on the decline.  In an effort to reduce absenteeism from school due to lice, we must rely on each other as parents to control the outbreaks. We can no longer rely on the schools’ “no nit” policies. Whether a “no nit” policy is the wave of the future or not, parent education is a must.  We can erase the stigma using good communication, safe, effective treatment, and head lice detection and prevention.   For more information, please go to TheNitNanny.com.  The Nit Nanny Products are all natural and pesticide free.
