Back To School Means Back To Lice!

As a parent, there are a ton of things you need to do as your kids go back to school. Some of these are things that you may not want to think about but that you really should in order to be prepared. One of these is the possibility of them getting head lice.

Lice are small, parasitic insects that live in hair near the scalp and feed off blood just under the scalp. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that up to 12 million people in the United States are affected by lice each year. They are most common on children given their likelihood for being in close physical contact with others their age. Lice can not fly or jump, so they have to crawl from one infected child’s head to another.

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILD ABOUT HEAD LICE

The first thing you should do is educate yourself about this problem. The good news is that lice are not known for transferring diseases, which differentiates them from pests such as mosquitoes. That said, they are a significant annoyance. They cause an itchy, red scalp, and repeated scratching can cause an infection.

Tell your child to avoid head-to-head contact with other children. Such contact is likely to occur when playing sports, playing on the playground or when pressing heads together to take a selfie. Also, advise them not to share scarves, hats, towels or anything else that’s used on or near the head. These steps will greatly diminish their chances of picking up head lice.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD GETS LICE

The overuse of retail lice removal products over the past couple decades has resulted in lice developing an immunity to them. Such “super lice” are extremely hard to get rid of. Home remedies are also generally ineffective and can be so involved that they can seem worse than the problem of the lice. As a parent, you may want to consider a professional solution for this nagging problem.
