Holiday Hair-Raising Horror? Prevent Lice Outbreaks!
The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and… lice? Unfortunately, with increased social gatherings, travel, and shared belongings, the risk of lice infestations also rises. But fear not! Nit Wits Lice Clinic is here to help you keep those pesky critters at bay.
Prevention Tips for a Lice-Free Holiday
Check Hair Regularly:
- Inspect your child’s hair at least once a week, especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck.
- Look for tiny white eggs (nits) attached to hair shafts and live lice, which are small, gray-brown insects that move quickly.
Avoid Head-to-Head Contact:
- Discourage children from sharing hats, scarves, helmets, or hair accessories.
- Remind them to avoid close contact with others’ heads during play or slumber parties.
Wash Bedding and Clothing:
- Wash all recently used bedding, towels, and clothing in hot water (at least 130°F) and dry on high heat.
- Vacuum carpets, furniture, and car seats thoroughly.
Seal Items:
- If items can’t be washed, seal them in airtight bags for at least 2 weeks to kill any remaining lice or nits.
Educate Your Children:
- Teach your children about lice prevention and what to do if they suspect an infestation.
- Encourage them to tell a trusted adult immediately if they experience itching or find bugs in their hair.
