Did you know September is Head Lice Prevention month?
It's no surprise that September is the chosen month to spread awareness about head lice. Back to school brings back the chances of your children returning home with those little pests known as head lice!
Here are a few head lice prevention tips that you can use to help prevent your children from contracting head lice this September:
Encourage your kids to avoid sharing things that have been on or near another child's head, including hairbrushes, combs, hats, scarves, towels, helmets, pillows, sleeping bags, etc.
Teach your kids to hang up their coat and hat on an individual hook, or some other separate area, when they get to school, instead of just throwing them in a pile with other classmates' clothing.
Regularly clean things that your child's head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones, etc.
Review some head lice pictures to help you understand and identify what you're looking for in your child's hair, including live life and nits (lice eggs).
Check your child for nits and live head lice at least once a week, keeping in mind that although you may find head lice anywhere, they are often found at the back of your child's head, near his/her neck and behind ears.
Recognize the symptoms of head lice, which includes an itchy scalp and small red bumps or sores on the back of your child's neck or scalp. Don't panic, though, if your child must be treated for head lice, Lice Tamers is here to help treat your family in the safest way possible.
