Hi Folks,
What is your policy when participants appear in your
programs with head lice? Do you have a No Nit policy? Do you check participants for nits and adult lice? Do you have polices specific to helmet sharing?
Take care,
Andy

Hi Andy,
You asked a question that has been on my mind! Thanks!
We do not allow helmet sharing in our program. Kids write their name on their helmet and it is understood that that is their personal helmet. Helmets get cleaned regularly as well.
Is it best to tell a student to come back to rides when they are nit free, or have them keep their helmet separate from everyone else, in a bag, and take it home to clean? I would like advice on this, too, as we have not had a case of lice in our program.

I understand it is VERY difficult to spread lice from person to person without trading headgear, but it happens nonetheless. If someone comes to us with lice, we send them home, just as if they had a cold.

Try getting disposable surgical caps from a local medical supply business. They can be worn under a helmet. Also, the shower caps that hotels provide for their guests work well.
