Head lice are annoying, but according to new guidelines from a leading group of pediatricians, they don't actually make people sick, and children with the condition should not be kept away from school.
頭虱會讓人很苦惱，但兒科醫師的領導小組認為它們并不會致病，有頭虱的孩子也不應該被拒于校外。
The guidelines, from the American Academy of Pediatrics, say that although head lice can cause itching, they are not known to spread disease, and the insects are not very likely to spread from one child to another within a classroom.
美國兒科學會的指導方針稱盡管頭虱讓人皮膚發癢，但是它們并不會傳播疾病，而且也不會輕易傳染給同一個教室里的其他孩子。
Rather, it is usually direct head-to-head contact that spreads lice. For this reason, the guidelines say "no healthy child should be excluded from school or allowed to miss school time because of head lice or nits."
通常情況下，只有頭對頭的接觸才會傳染頭虱。因此，指示稱“健康的孩子決不能因為頭虱或幼虱的原因被拒之校外或者錯過學校時光。”
