The CDC notes that head lice also can be found in eyebrows and eyelashes. However, head lice are most often found on the scalp, particularly near the neckline and the back of the head as well as behind the ears. How are head lice spread? Head lice cannot hop or fly; they move by crawling and are spread by direct contact with the hair of an infested person. As a result, people who come into head-tohead contact with someone who has head lice are at the greatest risk of getting lice. Lice can be spread via contact with clothing, including hats, scarves or coats, or personal items like combs or towels used by an infested person. However, the CDC notes that such spreading is uncommon. What are the symptoms of head lice infestation? A head lice infestation may produce various symptoms. People with head lice may notice a tickling feeling of something moving in their hair. The CDC notes that the bites of the head louse may cause an allergic reaction that leads people to feel an itchiness in their scalp. Scratching such itches can lead to the development of sores on the head. These sores may be susceptible to infection due to bacteria on an infected person’s skin. Head lice are most active in the dark, so an infestation may make it difficult for people to sleep. How are head lice found? Head lice are small and they avoid light, so it can be hard to see them with the naked eye. As a result, the CDC advises people who suspect they or a loved one has head lice to use a magnifying glass and a fine-toothed comb to examine the scalp. If no lice are found but symptoms persist, visit a health care provider who is trained to detect head lice. Do head lice spread disease? While it’s important that anyone diagnosed with head lice prioritize treatment, the CDC notes that head lice are not known to spread disease. But scratching an itchy infestation can lead to secondary skin infections, so it’s important to get treated, which often involves the application of an over-the-counter prescription medication.
www.columbusmessenger.com August 23, 2020 - GROVE CITY MESSENGER - PAGE 9 e benefits of a new approach to learning for students The validity of the adage “necessity is the mother of invention” is on full display during the COVID-19 outbreak. People quickly had to learn to adapt to a new way of life, including an educational system that was transformed dramatically by social distancing guidelines. More than 76 million students are enrolled in United States schools, per the latest Census Bureau information. In 2018, 2.12 million students were in Canadian postsecondary institutions alone. In a matter of days, millions of students who once attended classes in-person were forced to transition to virtual learning instruction. The process showed just how flexible learning systems can be, and how virtual instruction may become more than an emergency protocol in the future. Schools utilized systems like Google Classroom, Canvas and virtual meeting apps to connect and learn. While in-class lessons provide the socialization and oneon-one interaction that can be vital for students’ academic success, there are many different reasons why virtual instruction can be a key component of learning models Warrior Spirit Karate LLC has approximately 5,000 square feet of space that includes dressing rooms, a parent lounge area and plenty of space for students to train. Sensei Don Mathews, with nearly 39 years of experience competing, and 36 years teaching, has the passion to pass on his extensive knowledge and expertise to his students. He is accomplished in a variety of the martial art techniques, having trained with some of the most accomplished and recognized in the sport. With an eye toward maintaining the true traditional history and teachings, Sensei Mathews as well. When virtual learning is used in conjunction with traditional teaching, students may have a more well-rounded experience. Here are some potential benefits that may unfold as more data is collected. • Pace: Virtual learning affords students the chance to work on lessons at a pace that fits their individual needs. Students can go back and re-read or rework problems until they’re satisfied they have learned their lesson. Lessons can be slowed down or sped up depending on proficiency, creating a customized educational experience. • No more weather days. Many school districts include snow or extreme weather days into their calendars, adding on extra days at the end of school year to meet the specified number of educational days. Remote learning can take over in these times and keep school districts from having to pad calendars. • Convenience: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to provide students the best chance to get the amount of sleep they need. Still, most adolescents currently start school before 8:30 a.m. Remote learning enables students to complete their assignments when it works best for them. This may help them get more sleep, too. • Apps: Learning apps are a new wave of educational tools that have helped buoy virtual instruction. Primary school students or those with individual education plans may benefit the most from reinforced app skills that match their learning pace in fun ways. Virtual home instruction may become a large part of the educational landscape even after it’s no longer a social distancing necessity.
