According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 6 to 12 million lice infestations take place every year. Among these, it is children between the ages of 3 to 11 who are most affected. There have been further studies that suggest that young girls are more prone and vulnerable to head lice than boys; this is due to frequent contact and typically longer hair.
At school, kids play, eat and study together. If one or more of your child’s peers are suffering from head lice, it is very likely that the infestation may find its way into your home too.
So what do you do if you find out that your child has contracted head lice?

Head lice are most commonly transmitted via contact. However, they also travel on furniture like sofas, bedsand personal belongings. It is best to call for a house inspection once you find out your child has beeninfested with head lice. Though head lice can’t survive beyond their natural habitat, which is the human scalp, their eggs (nits) can withstand severe conditions.
