Many pediatric practices in Florida report a monthly, if not weekly lice scare from the same family.

Head lice affects 6-12 million people in the United States, with children being targeted the most. Lice outbreaks and infestations aside, chances of reoccurring lice within a week are high as well.

Prompt Action for Lice Removal
Taking instant action at the first sign of trouble will give you a significantly larger window to operate. Removing head lice isn’t easy…particularly if you are handling 3-4 infestations at once.
Just keep basics in mind, how lice breeds and spreads as an example. Ask this question:
what did I do wrong with lice removal the first time around? How can complete lice removal be guaranteed, with minimal effort and tears?
There are two ways – one of which is endorsed by not just Lice Troopers but the
National Association of Nurses and the CDC. It’s the handy-dandy and age-old nit combing method that can be carried out using a special metal nit comb.
However, DIY lice removal with nit combing doesn’t guarantee 100% success rate without proper knowledge of a louse’s life cycle and re-infestation chances.

Do you see lice crawling on your child’s head? Lice removal specialists recommend parents should think about two possible scenarios if live lice are found.
Consider the following:

Either way, the first and most important commandment of complete lice removal is lice inspection and screening
of the entire family, not just the affected children.
