Head Lice

[Saz73]

Mindee turned up, got upset itching his head alot, check and he's got head lice. Should I send him home?

I would just tell his parents tonight

If he just has a few my nursery would try to pull them out and tell me later, if tehre were lots though I have been told they would be sent home.

My aunt is a headmistress - if she finds children with them repeatedly she combs them, then puts all the critters on paper and laminates it. She then gives it to the child at the end of the day to give to parents - usually the child runs out waving the paper shouting "look what I got" and they seem to not have them again

There were lots and I mean lots!!! and he was itching so much he was making his head all red. Phoned Dad and he's coming to pick him up and treat him immediatley.

SecurMummy thank you. You have given me the laugh i needed this morning what a fantatstic idea of your aunts

Saz - sounds like that is best.

I love my aunt she is so forthright about things like that - I am not sure the parents on the recieving end will agree though!

All is ok now, spoke to dad and he's treated mindee now. Dad forgot to mention that mindee gets them quite often, so at least I now know and can look out for them as well. I've not stopped itching all day might get DS to check me now

Check, they pass really easily, but if you catch them straight away it is much easier to get rid of them!
