Join The DNA in observing National Pediculosis Prevention Month! National Pediculosis Prevention Month or Head Lice Prevention Month is observed every September. National Pediculosis Prevention Month was founded by the National Pediculosis Association (N.P.A.). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C.) reports that head lice are common among schoolchildren in the U.S. The C.D.C. estimates that six to 12 million school-going children are infested with head lice each year. The purpose of this observance is to raise awareness about head lice prevention as well as treatment and also encourage parents, teachers, and school nurses to recognize signs of head lice infestation. #DNA #HeadLice #PediculosisPreventionMonth #Advocacy #Nursing #DermNursing #DNA43 #DNAOneForAll #Convention
