Although head lice cannot hop, jump or fly, they can be transmitted from one child to another by head-to-head contact or by sharing combs, brushes, hats, etc. School is only one place your child might be in contact with head lice. Preschools, gymnastics, church, movies and many other places are other environments that your child might encounter lice. Please try to check your children regularly. It is very helpful if you let me know if you have found live lice or nits. All information that I receive is kept confidential.
Treatment options are varied as there are several natural products on the market as well as the traditional pediculicides. When your child’s head has been shampooed, it is very important that your child’s hair be combed with a special lice comb to remove all nits and live lice. I cannot stress enough how important this step is!
