[QUOTE="buddy, post: 481693, member: 12886"] That makes sense. I have been told in many settings over time that African American kids tend not to get lice as easily. It is not because they are Black...it is felt it is because the eggs can't attach as easily due to the kinds of products often used in AA hair. (so obviously, we all know AA kids who have had lice, but likely kids who are not into using such products). Our adoption company owner has several kids from all over the world. A couple came with huge cases of lice that were so hard to get rid of, it took months and months. They finally found putting conditioner on their hair and putting it in a shower cap allowed for them to die off and no new eggs to attach. I bet the tea tree oil also has smell/taste however bugs perceive things, properties too. Malika, I had lice. Caught it from my niece. It was just before Q came home. I owned and operated a daycare from my home at that time. Not one kid got it. I didn't know for quite a while, but still it didn't spread and I took care of the little ones...babies and toddlers. MY business partner took care of the preschoolers. I had kids held in my arms and snuggling every single day. NOT ONE got anything. My doctor said that is common when appropriate measures are taken before an outbreak so spread is minimized. Make sure he has a separate place to put his coat. Hat and mittens go in the sleeve of his coat for the day when it is hanging up. Dont play dressup using material clothes and hats... all plastic costume hats and should be treated and washed daily. Make sure they dont have a bunch of plush toys.... especially things kids lie on and with during naps. Never share nap spots, cots, mats etc. They should be washed/disinfected daily. Use only his own blanket . Check for warning signs that the center may be not following good protocols for avoiding spread in the first place. Just my experience here.
