How to prevent head lice

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), head lice are parasitic insects that live on people’s heads, brows, and eyelashes. Head lice grow near the human scalp and feed on human blood more than once a day. It is widespread among pre-school and primary school children, as well as the caregivers of infected children. Millions of kids experience head lice each year. They are frequent because they can spread whenever a child’s head comes into contact with the head of hair of another child. Anybody who comes into direct contact with somebody who has head lice is most at risk. Lice can spread at school, during sports, on playgrounds, or during sleepover parties.

It might be inconvenient to get lice. However, lice are not harmful, do not spread illness, and have no bearing on how clean someone is. Furthermore, you may learn how to treat them at home. Also, knowing what precautions to take to keep your child from contracting head lice is quite beneficial. Make sure to discuss prevention with your children. In fact, using these useful tips is the best practice:

1. Avoid sharing head-touching items such as hats.

2. Do not share combs, brushes, or towels.

3. Soak combs and brushes used by a person with head lice in hot water.

4. Do not use beds or pillows, that have been in contact with an infested person.

5. Wash clothing, bed linens, and items that an infested person used with hot water.
