Spread Love Not Lice

The beauty and innocence of children is wonderful! They have no enemies and truly see the best in everything around them and a new person is a new best friend, so hugs are inevitable.

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.
~Bil Keane, "Family Circus"

Lice can be a little like a boomerang as well!  It is head to head contact that is the most popular way to contract head lice. Take precautions and check your child's hair on a regular basis and especially this month when hugs abound and use a preventive lice spray each morning before school to keep the bugs away!!!!!

Known scents to repel lice include: Mint, Rosemary, Eucalyptus  and tea tree. Remember if there's lice detected in the community or school environment, check your child's hair 2-3 times a week for 3 weeks.

Almost all prescription and over-the-counter medications sold today for treating head lice contain pesticides or other chemicals, many of which have the potential to cause irritating skin reactions or other harmful side effects. For anyone looking to treat head lice the safe way, the LouseBuster™ device uses only controlled, heated air, so it is very safe – even when used to treat people with asthma and those who have previously experienced side effects from other products.
