Hi! Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Head lice have been found in our circle of friends and family. We've been checked and treated, and we're continuing to recheck.

Since the kids have been spending time together, I wanted to share a few helpful tips so we don't keep passing lice back and forth.

• Check everyone at home. Use a good lice comb, like NitNabber or Nit Free Terminator. Just looking through the hair can miss lice.
• Don't rely on itching! Many people with lice never itch.
