Headlice

Head lice are very common in young children and their families. May we remind you of the importance of regular screening of your child’s hair to prevent the spread of head lice.  Please note that head lice are transmitted by direct, head-to-head contact and there is hardly ever a serious case of head lice affecting a large number of children.  Advice about treatment may be obtained from the local pharmacist.
