As teenagers everywhere prepare for prom season and graduation here are a few tips from Lice Lifters Treatment Centers to prevent your teens from contracting head lice. We often see girls putting their heads together in photos. Most head lice cases stem from head to head or “hair to hair” contact. Perform a combing head check the next day on a wet head with a The Nit Nanny® Nit Removal Comb.
How you get head lice
- More than 90% of head lice cases come from head to head contact with an infected person (hair touching hair)
- Hugs (don’t give up hugging, just do regular head checks)
- Children working together in small spaces where heads touch (books/hand held video games)
- Cloth seats in the movie theater, on a bus, train, or plane
- Sharing dress up clothes, hats or hooded sweatshirts
- Lying on someone’s bed/pillow
- Sharing brushes or hair accessories
- Using someone’s towel
- Sharing a batting or safety helmet
