Got Uku? Uku (Head Lice) Treatment

Although small in stature, uku (head lice) are big trouble for schools in Hawaii. Many of Hawaii’s children are missing school due to endemic uku infestation.

The uku (head lice) treatment is available for download in four languages: ENGLISH, CHUUKESE, MARSHALLESE, and SPANISH.
