Lice
They're tenacious, they like girls more than boys, and once
they've found a warm home, they're almost impossible to
turf out. Head lice. They're not particular about clean
or dirty heads, any scalp will do. And as anyone who's done
battle with them knows, nitpicking
an be a nightmare…even for the pros.
Controlled
Drinking
If you abuse alcoholic can you be taught to control your
drinking? There's a fine line between a problem drinker
and an alcoholic and ten years ago a program was developed
to help so-called problem drinkers control their intake.
DrinkWise was controversial then but has it made a difference
in people's live? Dr. Karen Spivak is a psychologist and
runs a DrinkWise program. Dr. Graeme Cunningham is the director
of addiction treatment at the Homewood Health Centre in
Guelph.

Lyme
Disease
Think about what it must be like to be perfectly healthy
one day and the next bedridden and wracked with pain.
And imagine the anger and frustration you’d feel after
turning to doctors for help. Many don’t have the answers
and some dismiss your pain as psychological.
It’s a nightmarish scenario and a reality for some
people with Lyme Disease. Until recently we didn't think
there were many places you could get infected in Canada
but the little blacklegged tick that spreads lyme disease
is on the move. While your risk of contracting lyme disease
is still relatively small, we met 2 women, bitten in different
parts of Ontario, by ticks they never saw.
