Thoroughly vacuum floors, furniture, carpets, car seats and head rests. Discard vacuum bags immediately.

 

Head lice is hard to get rid of. A second application of anti-lice medication will be needed. Follow the instructions on the box. Please be patient and ask for help.

Lice have been around since the beginning of written history  - they know no socioeconomic boundaries. Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help and advice.

First you need to know that if your child gets lice, it does not mean that he or she is the source.

Second, reporting it immediately to stop it from spreading to another child, is important in combating them in the school setting.
