Huntington University deals with head lice

An outbreak of head lice at Huntington University has affected several students living on campus, a school official said.

Ron Coffey, vice president for student life, said university officials believe they have the problem under control. He said patient traffic at the University Health Center dropped off significantly Monday.

“We feel like we’re turning a good corner here,” he said.

The university, a Christian school in Huntington, became aware of the outbreak about a week ago. A group of students who returned at the end of January from a mission trip to India was likely the source of the lice, Coffey said.
