Winter Lice Prevention

Winter Lice Prevention – Tips for Preventing a Winter Head Lice Infestation

Back to school time Part 2 ā€” January is when kids come back from vacations to school and day care ā€” usually coincides with another lice outbreak in many communities. This is partially because families exchange more than presents over the holidays. Close contact with family members near and far can cause an easy way to exchange lice.

Lice donā€™t jump. So, the problem is not that lice jump from the hair onto the coat or hat and jump back to the next wearerā€™s head. However, they do crawl from head to head during a close hug or selfie.

Lice canā€™t survive without two things: 1) warmth from the human body, and 2) human blood to feed on. Yucky, but true.

What can you do to prevent a case of winter lice? Here are a few recommendations.

  • Tell your kids not to wear other peopleā€™s hats and hair accessories.
  • Check your kidsā€™ heads for lice once a week for the first month or so after school starts.
  • Use lice prevention products. Lice Clinics of America has a full line of lice prevention products including shampoo, conditioner, and spray. The products attack a louseā€™s ā€œolfactoryā€ nerves. In other words, lice canā€™t stand the smell. The shampoo will smell pleasant to you and your child, but not to lice. Since lice move to new hosts primarily through head-to-head contact, they will avoid a head that smells like this shampoo.
  • Talk to your friends. Silence about head lice is one of the critterā€™s best friends. People donā€™t like to talk about lice because of their unearned connection to poor hygiene. Donā€™t let that stop you. Tell your friends what youā€™re doing to prevent lice infestations, and encourage them to do the same. Anyone who has dealt with lice in the past will appreciate it!

If your kids do get lice, keep calm. Itā€™s not the end of the world and our treatment makes it really easy to get rid of lice and eggs. Lice Clinics of America uses an exclusive FDA-cleared medical device that is clinically proven to kill live lice and 99.2 percent of eggs in just over an hour.
