Lice Lessons

Nits are tiny, teardrop-shaped lice eggs that are often yellowish or white. Nits are also what you call the shells that are left behind once the eggs hatch. Nits are attached to the hair shaft and often found around the nape of the neck or the ears. Nits can look similar to dandruff, but cannot be easily removed or brushed off.1

Nymphs, or baby lice, are small and grow to adult size in 1 to 2 weeks.1

Adult lice are the size of a sesame seed and appear tan to grayish-white.1

Head Lice 101What You Should Know About Head Lice

Overview

Head lice are a common community problem. An estimated 6 to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States, most commonly among children ages 3 to 11 years old.1 Though a head lice infestation is often spotted in school, it is usually acquired through direct head-to-head contact elsewhere, such as at sleepovers or camp.2

Head lice are not dangerous, and they do not transmit disease.1 Additionally, despite what you might have heard, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits.3,4 Your family, friends, or community may experience head lice. It’s important to know some basics, including how to recognize symptoms and what to do if faced with an infestation.

What are head lice?Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on human blood.1 When checking for head lice, you may see several forms: the nit, the nymph, and the adult louse.

How are head lice spread?

• Head lice move by crawling and cannot jump or fly1

• Head lice are mostly spread by direct head-to-head contact—for example, during play at home or school, sleepovers, sports activities, or camp1

• It is possible, but not common, to spread head lice by contact with items that have been in contact with a person with head lice, such as clothing (for example, hats, scarves, or coats) or other personal items (such as combs, brushes, or towels)1

• Head lice transmission can occur at home, in the community, or —very infrequently—in school1,2

What are the signs and symptoms of infestation?Signs and symptoms of infestation include1:

• Tickling feeling on the scalp or in the hair

• Itching (caused by the bites of the louse)

• Irritability and difficulty sleeping (lice are more active in the dark)

• Sores on the head (caused by scratching, which can sometimes become infected)

Finding a live nymph or adult louse on the scalp or in the hair is an indication of an active infestation. They are most commonly found behind the ears and near the neckline at the back of the head.1

Fast Facts

• An estimated 6 to 12 million infestations occur each year among US children 3 to 11 years of age1

• Head lice do not discriminate, often infesting people with good hygiene.3,4 They spread mainly through head-to-head contact1

• If you or your child exhibits signs of an infestation, it is important to talk to your doctor to learn about treatment options

Head Lice 101What You Should Know About Head Lice

What if my child gets head lice?If you suspect your child might have head lice, it’s important to talk to a school nurse, pediatrician, or family physician to get appropriate care. There are a number of available treatments, including new prescription treatment options that are safe and do not require nit combing. Other things to consider in selecting and starting treatment include:

• Follow treatment instructions. Using extra amounts or multiple applications of the same medicationis not recommended, unless directed by a healthcare professional5

• A 2016 study showed that 48 states now have lice that are genetically predisposed to resistanceto commonly used treatments6

• There is no scientific evidence that home remedies are effective treatments7

• Head lice do not infest the house. However, family bed linens and recently used clothes, hats,and towels should be washed in very hot water and dried on the high setting5

• Personal articles, such as combs, brushes, and hair clips, should be soaked in very hot water for5 to 10 minutes if they were exposed to someone with an active head lice infestation5

• All household members and other close contacts should be checked, and those with evidenceof an active infestation should also be treated at the same time5

Myths and facts about head lice

Myth: Only dirty people get head lice.Fact: Personal hygiene and household or school cleanliness are not factors for infestation. In fact, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits.3,4

Myth: Head lice carry diseases.Fact: Head lice do not spread diseases.1

Myth: Head lice can be spread by sharing hair brushes, hats, clothes, and other personal items.Fact: It is uncommon to spread head lice by contact with clothing or other personal items, such as combs, brushes, or hair accessories, that have been in contact with a person with head lice.1

Myth: Head lice can jump or fly, and can live anywhere.Fact: Head lice cannot jump or fly, and only move by crawling. It is unlikely to find head lice living on objects like helmets or hats because they have feet that are specifically designed to grasp on to the hair shaft of humans. Additionally, a louse can only live for about a day off the head.1

Myth: You can use home remedies like mayonnaise to get rid of head lice.Fact: There is no scientific evidence that home remedies are effective treatments.7 Consult your healthcare provider to discuss appropriate treatment options, including prescription products.

January 2020 Food and Fitness for a Healthy Child

Rainbow skewers Turn skewers into a veg-

gie rainbow for a colorful snack or side dish. On each skewer, your child could alternate cherry tomatoes with slices of orange bell pepper, yellow squash, green zuc-chini, and purple eggplant. Brush

with olive oil and roast at 400º for 10−12

minutes or until tender.

Be a “star” Here’s a fun exercise for your young-ster—and the whole family. Lie on your backs with your arms and legs stretched out into a star shape. Lift your left leg, raise your head and shoulders off the ground, and reach to touch your left foot with your right hand. Change sides and alter-nate. Idea: How many “star touches” can he do in a minute?

Seeds are filled with nutrients. Add them to your child’s diet by let-

ting her toss unsalted sunflower seeds into salads or add pumpkin

A+ breakfasts Fuel up your child for the school

day ahead by making sure he eats a nutritious breakfast. He’ll be more alert for learning and play-ing when you start the morning with these tips.

Prepare ahead Getting healthy meals on the

table during the busy school-and-work week can be challeng-ing. Make it easier by prepping ingredients the night before. For example, cook a batch of oatmeal, barley, or brown rice. In the morning, your youngster could microwave it and add his favorite toppings to create a grain bowl. Some ideas: diced peaches, dried cranberries, crushed walnuts, cin-namon, nonfat Greek yogurt.

Eat at school What’s more fun than eating breakfast

at home? Eating a healthy breakfast at school with friends! Scan the cafeteria menu with your child. He’ll find fresh fruit and perhaps options like whole-wheat French toast sticks, scrambled egg tacos, and whole-grain banana muffins.

When he gets home, ask him to tell you what he had for breakfast that day.

Make weekends special With more time on the weekends,

plan special morning meals you and your youngster can cook together. Toss frozen blueberries into whole-grain pancake batter. Or make grilled breakfast sand-wiches on whole-wheat bread, tucking in nutritious ingredients like tomato slices, mushrooms, and low-fat cheddar cheese. Idea: Let him use cookie cutters to cut the pancakes or sandwiches into different shapes.

seeds to soups and cooked vegeta-bles. Try grinding seeds in a coffee grinder, and sprinkle them on hot or cold cereal or yogurt.

Just for fun Mom: Zach, why are you standing on your head?

Zach: Because my feet are tired!

Add activity to chores Help your youngster get fit while build-

ing responsibility. Try these suggestions the next time she does chores.

● Listen to music. Make an upbeat“chores playlist” together. Your childcan dance while both of you wipe downkitchen counters, dust, or sweep. Tip:Bring in math by asking her to estimatehow long chores will take and create a playlist to fit that time.

● Turn it into a game. To tidy up, each family member is responsible for oneroom—collecting shoes, toys, books, or papers and putting them where theybelong. Set a timer and meet back in the living room when it goes off. Did every-one finish straightening up their room?

Prevent winter weight gain As temperatures get colder, your child might

be tempted to stay inside and eat. Keep her from overeating and gaining weight with these strategies.

Hungry or bored? When your youngster says she’s hungry an hour after eating, she may just be bored. Suggest that she do an activity she enjoys, like building with Legos or read-ing. If she is still hungry afterward, offer her a piece of fruit and a glass of water.

Plan active fun. Schedule fitness on the calendar just like other

activities. On weekends you could pencil in ice-skating on Friday night, bird-watching on Saturday morning, or bike riding on Sunday after-noon. During the week, take after-dinner walks. You might even organize group walks with neighbors—your child will enjoy having kids

her age along!

Classic games Play games with your

youngster that you loved as a child— but give them a twist to help him get

Dish up food. Eating directly out of a bag or box often leads to overeating. That’s because it’s hard to see how much you’re really taking. Keep your youngster from developing this habit by having her put snacks on plates or in bowls.

1. Simon Says. Take turns being “ActiveSimon.” For instance, say, “Active Simonsays, ‘Do four jumping jacks.’” Just re-member, if the caller doesn’t say “ActiveSimon says,” you have to stay still.

2. Hopscotch. Draw a hopscotch boardand number the squares 1–10. Write adifferent action in each square. (“Run ina circle.” “Do push-ups.”) Throw a rockon the board and hop to that spot. Whenyou get there, do the action as manytimes as the number on the square.

Q & A Fast food? Better choices! Q: Sometimes we can’t seem to avoid getting fast food after a busy day of work and after-school activities. How can I help my daughter make better choices in the drive-thru lane?

A: Eating on the go poses challenges, but with a little planning, it’s possible to turn fast food into a healthier meal.

How? Start with the drinks. Give your child a choice between water and low-fat milk. She’ll avoid the sugar in soda, fruit juice, or milkshakes. Model good choices for her by sticking to water yourself.

Next, skip the “kid’s meal.” Your daughter may enjoy a salad as a main meal, topped with grilled chicken or beans for protein. Let her in on a “secret”: Dressing can practically double the calories of her meal. Encourage her to ask for dressing on the side—and to skip high-calorie toppings like bacon bits and croutons. Finally, order nutritious sides, such as apple slices or carrot sticks. You’ll still have a meal in a hurry, but one with nutrients added.

Plant-based plates Meatless Monday…or

meatless any day! Encourage healthy plant-based eating with tasty and filling recipes like these.

Veggie pasta salad Cook 8 oz. whole-grain pasta, and

drain. Combine with 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, 1– 2 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), 3– 4 cup sliced roasted red pep-pers, and 1– 2 cup diced red onion. Sprinkle in 1– 2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp. oregano. Chill 2 hours and serve.

Loaded sweet potato Split a baked sweet potato in half.

Cover it with cooked black beans (canned, rinsed), diced mango, and avocado slices.

Garden pita Top a 7-inch whole-wheat pita

with 2 tbsp. low-sodium pizza sauce, 1– 4 cup sliced zucchini, and 1– 4 cup finely diced broccoli florets. Bake at 350º

until the vegetables are tender. Top with 1– 4 cup crum-bled feta.
