Preventing Head Lice During Holiday Season
Schools have reopened, and you may be relieved to finally have a break… After all, no school for a few weeks must mean no lice, right? Wrong! The holiday season poses just as much of a threat for lice outbreaks as summer camp, back-to-school, and summer vacations.
Even in these limiting times, we wish to spend the holidays with our loved ones. Whether that means masked gatherings or intimate family time with cousins, lice loom wherever children get together. ‘Tis the season for selfies, shared blankets, and passing around festive holiday hats. Either way, the holidays present the perfect opportunity for the tiny parasites to attack! If you don’t want a head lice infestation to ruin your holiday festivities, keep these prevention methods in mind!
