Prevention of Head lice

Prevention of Head lice: Lice are most commonly spread directly by head-to-head contact and indirectly though sharing contaminated clothing or belongings. Teach your child to avoid playtime and other activities that are likely to spread lice.

• Avoid head-to-head contact common during play at school and at home (slumber parties, sports activities, at camp, on a playground).
• Do not share clothing, such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, hair ribbons, or barrettes.
• Do not share infested combs, brushes, or towels.
• Do not lie on beds, couches, pillows, carpets, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with an infested person.
