ESPN Has Lice

Here is an internal memo that was recently sent to ESPN employees:

As a proactive measure, I am writing to make all of you aware that over the past week, several Talent and Make-up Artists have reported being exposed to lice. We have taken several actions since we learned of the situation Tuesday:

Members of our make-up team immediately thoroughly sanitized and disinfected the preparation room, prior to servicing any clients on Tuesday;

Our make-up team is using a sanitization protocol on all instruments, and are using new care products to ensure that no spread can occur;

We appreciate your patience as we temporarily close the make-up room in Building 4 starting tomorrow morning (Talent will be prepped in the DC-1 and DC-2 make-up rooms);

Any impacted individuals on the make-up team have checked and treated themselves, and the entire team will remain vigilant to ensure that neither they nor our Talent are exposed to lice; and

Any Talent who had their hair styled in the exposed area or was exposed to someone known to have lice has been individually informed.

If in the coming days, you have any concerns or experience any symptoms of lice, please see your doctor or reach out to me immediately, so that we can conduct a check for you and discuss any necessary treatment.

At least we know Scott Van Pelt is gonna be okay.
