HEAD LICE
PREVENTION |
|
|
Treat children and adults with lice promptly and thoroughly.
Wash all clothes and bed linens. This helps prevent head lice from
spreading to others.
Check policies at schools, daycares, preschools, and nurseries.
Many do not allow infected children to be at school until the lice
have been completely treated. Sometimes, however, this does not
prevent the continued spread. This may be related to the insects
getting into carpets or other areas at the school. It is helpful if
the school also has policies to ensure that the environment is
cleared of lice as well.
DO NOT share hair brushes, combs, hair pieces, hats, bedding,
towels, clothing, or other similar items with someone who has lice. |
