Share and Share A Lice?
Share and Share Alike…this common term means ‘to encourage everyone to have an equal amount of something’. But when put in the context of a head lice infestation it ‘s more like Share and Share A Lice, because that’s exactly what happens when a lice infested person shares a brush, comb or, especially at this time of year, a softball/baseball helmet. I remember a few years ago, the head of a local girls’ softball league contacted me to ask if it was possible that sharing helmets could aid in the spread of head lice. He was not happy when I told him, ”Absolutely!” Turned out the entire team had contracted head lice. After that incident, they made it a league rule that every player had to have their own helmet. Head lice are most commonly passed from person to person through head-to-head contact. The second most common way to spread lice is by sharing personal items such as brushes, combs and, yes, helmets too. Head lice do not jump or fly but can stay on a hair left behind in a helmet, or crawl on the spongy helmet inserts. The good news is that if there are any lice in the helmet, they will die within 24 hours without a food source (your child’s scalp). To be sure there are no lice left in the helmet, remove any stray hairs (use a sticky lint roller or vacuum) and wipe down the helmet with rubbing alcohol. So when it comes to softball/baseball season, unless you’re game for a head lice infestation, make sure your child has her/his own helmet.

Here at Westchester Dental Care in Mount Kisco, NY, for many of our patients, a routine check up typically reveals healthy, disease-free gums. We’re glad for that… But sometimes people with healthy gums forget that it’s still important to regularly look for early signs of a problem.If you have early signs of gum disease, the best thing that can be done is to take care of it before it gets out of hand. For many of you that may mean being well informed about gum disease, including symptoms to watch for.Gum disease can be divided into three stages which can range from a simple amount of gum inflammation to major tissue damage and tooth loss. It’s been said before, but as a reminder, the sooner periodontal disease is caught the more we can do to successfully reverse the affects. Unfortunately, gum disease usually doesn’t hurt until sufficient damage has been done. At this stage, people often lose teeth. The bacteria associated with gum disease has also been linked to heart disease including heart attacks, Alzheimer’s Disease, strokes, Diabetes, osteoporosis, respiratory disease, digestive disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, certain cancers like kidney and pancreatic, and low pre-term birth weight babies.

Check Head Lice Off Your Back To School List
It’s no coincidence that September is Head Lice Awareness Month. And with good reason. As children head back to school from a summer of camp, all day play dates and mega sleepovers, the number of cases of head lice rises. That’s becausehead lice, tiny parasitic insects that live on the scalp, are most commonly transferred through head to head contact. “Although head lice are most definitely a year round nuisance, there a certain times of the year that we tend to really take notice of it, and back to school is one of them”, says Barbara Gips, president and founder of Lice Connection – the in-home head lice and nit removal company. What should parents both know and do toprevent head licefrom happening to their child? Lice Connection offers seven important tips: · Teach your child to avoid head to head contact; no sharing of brushes, combs, hats, hair accessories, scarves or towels · Keep your child’s hair as close to the head as possible; either in a ponytail, braid or bun. Using hairsprays or gels also helps to make it harder for lice to infest. · Spray your child’s hair daily with a natural lice repellent. Available in drug stores, natural food stores or online, these are products designed specifically to repel lice with scents such as rosemary, tea tree, mint and lavender. · Perform a weekly head check for lice and nits (eggs). Learn what to look for andhow to perform a proper head check:www.liceconnection.com/videos · Each child should have their own helmet for sporting activities. Keep an extra helmet on hand for when friends come over to play. · Don’t assume that because your child is not scratching their head, that they do not have head lice – some children don’t feel them in their hair at all. · To stay ahead of a head lice infestation, Barbara recommends doing a “comb out” once a week with a good metal nit comb. Making it part of your weekly routine is the best way to catch lice early:www.liceconnection.com/videos Lice Connection is the in-home head lice and nit removal company serving the counties of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland, NY and Fairfield, CT.
