ESTABLISHING LICE PREVENTION HABITS

Avoiding a case of the bugs starts with establishing good lice prevention habits and these are simple practices that any family can implement to help minimize risk of this common childhood malady. Keep Long Hair Tied Back Long hair is more likely to end up with an infestation because it more readily comes into contact with clothing, furniture or the heads of other children. Keeping hair pulled back into braids or a ponytail can keep the bugs from attaching to the hair and starting an infestation. Garlic Spray Mix a solution of garlic and water in a spray bottle and spray on children’s heads before they leave the house for school or to play at a friend’s home. The strong garlic smell repels the bugs but will not be noticeable to others after a few moments. No Sharing This can be a hard one to teach kids, but children should be cautioned not to share personal belongings such as hair brushes, pillows, hats, scarves or athletic equipment that comes into contact with the head or hair. Help children to practice politely declining requests to share these items. Spot Check While bugs and nits can be hard to detect, and a professional screening would be necessary to confirm, you should get into the habit of periodically checking your child’s hair for evidence. When an infestation is detected early, it is easier to treat, minimizes your child’s distress and helps guard against spreading it to other family members or classmates.
