When it comes to getting your kids ready for their return to school for another year, one thing you may have overlooked is the issue of head lice. These tiny, parasitic insects love the warm, moist environment under your hair while they feed off the blood under your scalp. There are millions of reported lice infestations each year across the United States, and children are a large percentage of those afflicted. It’s easy to see why given how often kids come into physical contact while playing, and this is the easiest way for them to spread.
It’s important that you learn about lice because different schools have various policies about allowing kids to come to school if they have lice or nits, which are their eggs. While lice are not dangerous, they are still a nuisance. Their feeding on the scalp can cause redness, irritation and itching. If your child scratches the area sufficiently, they can develop into open sores.
Does Your Child Have Head Lice?
If you find that your child contracted head lice through physical contact with another child from summer camp, school or just from a local playground, you may be feeling frustrated about how to deal with it. You may be researching home remedies to deal with them, but these have been generally debunked for being ineffective and so cumbersome to do that they are almost worse than the lice infestation.
This is a particularly big issue with school starting up again around the country. As a parent, you need to have a solution to lice, so your kids won’t spread it to others and to enable you to effectively deal with the situation if you find some on your child’s head.
