Get Informed about How to Prevent the Spread of Lice in Children!

Head lice outbreaks are easily spread from child to child or a family member. One of the most frequent questions we get from Moms is, How to prevent the spread of lice? Head louse parasites most popular victims are children due to the close contact they have at school and daycare facilities. Sharing toys and playing dress-up are some of the ways children pass them to one another.

Children with Itchy Heads

However, children are not the only ones who may find themselves with itchy heads. If you come into contact with lice or nits (eggs), there’s a strong likelihood that they or a family member will become infested with head louse parasites. Whether by giving hugs, playing sports, sharing hats or using a contaminated pillow, there are countless ways to spread these nasty critters.

Preventing head lice can be more difficult in children as they are prone to close play. Tell your child to avoid sharing headwear (hats and beanies), and try to get the other parents, teachers and daycare workers on board with the effort. Early detection through regularly scheduled inspections can help limit spreading them to others and reduce the number of families impacted.
