Contrary to what most people believe, head lice is a year-round problem.  However, there are certain times 

of the year when head lice tend be more prevalent. Whenever, kids get together in large groups, the chances of head lice being spread among them tends to increase. The spring season is one of those times.

Head lice prevention starts with being aware of how it is spread.  Head lice do not jump or fly.  So how do children contract head lice from one another?  

The main way in which head lice is spread is through direct contact, i.e. head-to-head contact, sharing brushes, hats and/or head gear.  

This spring be sure to tell your child not to share head gear with the other players on their team.  If there is no option but to share, be sure that your child wears a protective barrier between their head and the head gear such as a baseball cap.
