As if you do not have enough to worry about, the Center For Disease Control states on its site that "Preschool and elementary-age children, 3-11, and their families are infested [with head lice] most often. Girls get head lice more often than boys...[and] Personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with getting head lice."
Tips to Prevent Lice infestations: Teach children not to share combs, brushes, scarves, hair ribbons, helmets, headphones, hats, towels, bedding, clothing, or other personal items.
Regularly use an all natural head lice prevention shampoo such as Rosemary Repel® Shampoo or other shampoos like Neutrogena's, which include ingredients like Tea Tree Oil and pure rosemary, and lavender oils to help repel head lice and other insects from the hair.
Cool Baby Tips parents suggest using these shampoos frequently when kids first start pre-school, then once a week after that. For more tips and signs on how to spot an infestation check out LicePreventionNews.com or The Center For Disease Control.
Thank you. We have had lice and i've been wondering what to do about this this year.
