Lice Prevention

Prevention Is a Very Important Part of Solving the Problem
Your beautiful day takes a nosedive as your kids return from school with a seemingly innocent
slip from the nurse saying there’s an outbreak of lice in the school. Checking their hair you can
at least take a breath for now – they are safe and haven’t been infested yet. “Yet” being the
keyword here. Just thinking of the long hours of nitpicking that are bound to come has you
almost hyperventilating. And not sending the kids to school is not an option – what would
happen to their grades? Well, stop worrying and start doing. Prevention is better than the cure –
and in this case it is 200% true; preventing lice is easier than nit picking for weeks later on.
How do Lice travel so fast?
If you know how lice travel, it would be easier for you to prevent them from travelling to your
kids’ heads. Lice don’t jump or fly as they have short, stumpy legs that render them incapable of
even walking properly across a flat surface. They crawl fast though and close contact and
sharing of personal belongings facilitate their quick movement across hair shafts and other such
material they can cling to and travel across. Things like hats, scarves, hair ties, combs, brushes,
sports helmets, stuffed animals, dress-up clothing, pillows, blankets etc. assist their movement
and sharing these with someone who has been infested should be avoided. In situations, like

summer camps, classes etc. where sharing is unavoidable, precautions should be taken
accordingly.
What preventive measures should I adopt?
You can ask your kids to try and avoid head-to-head contact and sharing of aforementioned
belongings, but this is not always possible. In that scenario, you can buy a Lice Prevention Kit
for them and ask them to wash their hair with it regularly. Leave-in hair tonic can protect them
round-the-clock and helmet spray can be used on things they have to share. Pack their own
pillows, blankets for sleepover and tell them to use fabric spray for camps. Preventing lice
requires just a little bit of caution and saves you a lot of hassle later on.
