- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- More than 10 million people each year are infested with head lice. In
- fact, except for the common cold, head lice affect more children each year
- than all other communicable diseases combined. The peak season for head lice
- infestation is August to November, just the time when children are returning
- to the classroom. And it is the time when the letters about these critters
- begin to appear in my mail. To help all interested parents and grandparents,
- I am happy to tell you that a free booklet is available that may help answer
- many of your questions about lice, preventing an infection and treating the
- condition. It is called "A Parent's Guide to Controlling Head Lice" and it
- contains much of the information you need. It contains all the guidelines for
- cleaning children's clothing and surroundings, and how to tell if your child
- has lice. You may obtain your copy in either English or Spanish by sending a
- stamped self-addressed business size envelope along with your request for this
- lice booklet to: Nix Leaflet Offer, 450 Park Avenue South, Suite 600, New
- York, NY 10016.
