As we gather around our family and friends this season, joy isn’t the only thing we can be sharing. Head lice can spread like crazy during the holiday season as we gather in tight rooms, hug long lost relatives, and send our children off to sleepovers. Preventing the spread of lice can be easy though if you follow a few simple reminders.

Lice spread easier during holiday breaks with people traveling from town to town, sharing bedding, more gatherings taking place, and children playing in large groups more often. It’s not uncommon for those with an infestation to still travel and visit others out of town for the season. If you find that someone in your household has lice it is best stay home and find them treatment.

It is good to remember lice can not jump or fly but instead crawl from person to person, and while lice tend to be most common in children, anyone coming in direct head to head contact is at risk. Head lice tend to prefer clean hair over those with dirty hair, washing your hair a bit less this season or keeping it in a braid, bun, or, other tight hair style can help keep the lice away.

To further prevent against lice during the holidays remind your children not to share things such as pillows, blankets, and, hair brushes. With many families traveling sharing bedding and grooming objects becomes common but can lead to outbreaks and the spread of head lice throughout a household. If someone is infected remind others not to lye down on any couch, bed, carpet, or, pillow used by the person. The sharing of belongings plays less of a role in the spread of lice than direct contact, but it is often better to be safe than sorry during this busy festive season.

It’s no secret that getting rid of head lice in your family can be stressful and time-consuming—a real-life nightmare. Most do-it-yourself lice treatments require repeated applications, tedious comb-outs, and nitpicking, with no guarantee of success. If one nit is missed, the lice will return. So how to get rid of these pesky bugs?

Lice Clinics of America – Greenville, South Carolina offers an immediate, FDA-cleared, guaranteed solution and our professional technicians do it for you so you can skip the mess and the endless combing.

Treating head lice have become more difficult over the years as they have developed resistance to most of the do-it-yourself kits. The most recent study of these so-called “super lice” published in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that 98 percent of head lice in 48 U.S. states are now immune to pyrethroids, the class of pesticides used by Over-The-Counter (OTC) lice products. Pyrethroids have also been linked to developmental and behavioral problems in children. When you try and utilize pesticides that are no longer effective, it is not uncommon for people to struggle with head lice for several weeks. That can turn into a real nightmare. That’s why we offer head lice removal in about just an hour!

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), there are an estimated 6-12 million lice infestations each year in the United States among children 3 to 11 years old. Lice can occur in school-aged children and adults too! It is important when a lice infestation happens in a household that all family members get checked so it can try to be eradicated the first time. Below are some helpful tips on how to prevent head lice from happening:

1. Don’t share items that touch the head, like combs, brushes, towels or other hair accessories, especially for school-aged children.
2. Try to avoid any activities that can lead to head-to-head contact.
3. Keep belongings, especially head related gear away from shared areas like coat closets.
4. Utilize routine head checks with family members to ensure an early detection if lice infestation occurs.
5. Do not share hats or scarves, wash and disinfect often.
6. If lice are active around a school or summer camp, tie hair into ponytails or braids.

If lice infestations do occur, make sure to disinfect everything that can be cleaned, and do thorough head checks often.
