A Real Breakthrough; New Formula,

What people say makes us excited::

Yes, I DID receive your new formula. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I took some time off and went away for a long weekend. I am VERY impressed with the sample you sent.

I have used it about six times now, and I have really experienced great relief...more than any other product that I have tried so far! So, I am very happy to pass that news along to you. And, I am also very happy to have found a product that works.

It seems to work almost immediately. The smell as well as the color is much more pleasant than your last formula, too. Congratulations on a very fine product!! You must be very excited to share this with people.

Sincerely,

Mary Selfridge

 

Lice outbreak ticks off some parents

March 2, 2005

BY KIMBERLY C. MOORE
FLORIDA TODAY

A lice infestation at several beachside elementary schools has parents complaining the schools should have told them about the outbreak, but didn't.

"Parents are going to find out anyway, but hearing about it on the playground is more likely to cause overreaction than hearing it from school officials," said Eugénie Amalfitano, who has a sixth-grader at Gemini Elementary.

School district officials say they decided several years ago to stop notifying parents if a student in their child's class had head lice based on recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Both organizations say healthy children were missing school "based on intolerance, hysteria and misinformation" about a parasite that does not carry disease and is merely annoying but harmless.

"The discovery of lice or their eggs on the hair should not cause the child to be sent home or isolated," the Harvard report states, using italics for emphasis. It goes on to say that lice have been found in the hair of prehistoric mummies.

District officials say lice problems happen every year at almost all schools, particularly in the spring.

"Did you know that it's probably at every one of our schools?" School District Spokesperson Sara Stern asked. "Every school every year does some kind of education about controlling head lice -- the idea is prevention."

Parents say they agree that stigmatizing a child is wrong, but they were frustrated at the lack of information coming from the school and school district. Amalfitano exchanged numerous e-mails with district officials about the problem, particularly over concerns regarding sharing headphones in computer labs.

"There is a quantum leap between unjustifiably singling out a class or student, and prohibiting a school from disseminating factual information," Amalfitano said in a note to the school district.

Gemini Principal Joan Holliday said she has now sent a note home informing parents about lice in the school. It tells parents to tell their kids not to share combs or hats and advises them to check their children's heads nightly.

"It's a generic notification" said Holliday, who has been in education for more than 30 years and has seen the same parasite problem each year. Lice is "probably going to outlive" humans, she added.
