Hello parents,
I am writing to let you know that we have been informed of some athletes experiencing head lice. I want to put you all on notice so you can help your athlete to avoid contracting/spreading lice. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to contract head lice during cheer practice as we do not wear/share head gear and do not have hair to hair contact. Please make sure your athlete comes to practice with their hair tied back.
Here is some information about head lice:
Head lice are spread most commonly by direct hair-to-hair contact. However, much less frequently they are spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen. The risk of getting infested by a louse that has fallen onto a carpet or furniture is very small. Head lice survive less than 1–2 days if they fall off a person and cannot feed; nits cannot hatch and usually die within a week if they are not kept at the same temperature as that found close to the scalp.
we will be cleaning/vacuuming the cheer mats prior to Wednesday practice and will continue to clean them for all practices leading up to Disney
The following are steps that can be taken to help prevent and control the spread of head lice:
•Avoid hair to hair contact during play and other activities at home, school, and elsewhere.
•Do not share clothing such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, hair ribbons, or barrettes.
•Do not share combs, brushes, or towels. Disinfest combs and brushes used by an infested person by soaking them in hot water (at least 130°F) for 5–10 minutes.
•Do not lie on beds, couches, pillows, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with an infested person.
•Machine wash and dry clothing, bed linens, and other items that an infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment using the hot water (130°F) laundry cycle and the high heat drying cycle. Clothing and items that are not washable can be dry-cleaned OR sealed in a plastic bag and stored for 2 weeks.
To help control a head lice outbreak in a community, school, or camp, children can be taught to avoid activities that may spread head lice.
Coach Alicia has been very transparent in letting the team know that she has dealt with and properly treated lice in her own home in the past. While she is not an expert, she is very informed in proper treatment of head lice. If you or your athlete are struggling with treatment, please reach out to her, she is more than happy to help.
We have also made contact with the school district in hope that they put the school on notice as well.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
