"Never ever" is strong wording. Are you sure? |
Post the text please.
Your child was found to have nits.
The abstract of the citation that you provided discusses how Health care professionals as well as nonspecialists frequently overdiagnose pediculiasis capitis and generally fail to distinguish active from extinct infestations.
Your child wasn't found to have a lice infestation (pediculiasis capitis) she was found to have nits.

Meaning, 68% were inaccurate. As in the "lice checkers" who thought something was lice, were wrong in 68% of the time. |
Can you link the article? The only thing I'm seeing is that they had a hard time distinguishing between active and dead nits. Also that these specimans were given by ordinary ppl and health care professionals. I dont see anything about lice checkers who do this day in day out for a living.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong article.
