Preventing Head Lice
The spread of head lice can be controlled with prompt diagnosis and effective preventative measures.
The first thing one can do to help prevent the spread of lice is to discuss the subject openly with all family members. Lice can affect anyone, regardless of background or hygiene. And, if everyone knows what’s going on, the risk of infestation is cut in half. Lice cannot fly or jump, and they are normally transferred during direct head-to-head contact.
One should check family member’s hair for evidence of head lice on a regular basis. If you suspect your child has lice, please notify the school nurse to assist you with information, resources and recommendations.
If, head lice are NOT present, begin using preventative efforts and products immediately:
