The Right-to-Lice Movement- November 19, 2004 Seeing as how there's plenty for us parents to worry about these days, KidLife thought you might like to know about one item you can cross off your list: head lice.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24689-2003Jun23.html?nav=rss_health/columns...
