Most states in the U.S. are dealing with a major outbreak of “super lice,” according to a new study in the Journal of Medical Entomology.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical advisers are saying that medications containing codeine should not be given to children and most teens to treat pain or cough.
Members of the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs (PADC) and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committees voted in favor of including a new contraindication for codeine for the treatment of cough in individuals under 18, while others recommended a lower threshold.
