PREVENTING REINFESTATION OF LICE

Once your child has been treated at Lice Lifters Treatment Centers and your home are free of lice, there are several things you can do to prevent further outbreaks. Continue to check for adults and eggs once a week, especially when cases of pediculosis are being reported in your school or day care. Educate your children on ways they can protect themselves. Instruct them not to share combs, barrettes, hats, or other headgear. Talk with your child’s teacher or day-care provider and suggest that coats and hats be stored separately from each other, either in lockers, cubbyholes, or on assigned hangers. Ask your school or day-care not to use indoor sprays to prevent lice outbreaks they are dangerous and don’t work. Share information with your pediatrician and school nurse.  An excellent source are: www.licelifters.com and www.thenitnanny.com
