To help prevent lice, it is important to take certain preventative measures. Here are some tips to help stop the spread of lice:

Good Hygiene Practices

• Avoid sharing hats, scarves, combs, brushes, towels, and other personal items.

• Wash bedding, clothing, and other fabrics in hot water, and dry in a hot dryer.

• Vacuum carpets and furniture regularly.

• Discourage head-to-head contact with other people.

Regular Check-Ups

• Have your child’s hair checked for lice every few weeks. If lice are detected, treat the hair and scalp with an over-the-counter or prescription lice treatment.

• Check your family members for lice if someone in your household is found to have lice.

Be Proactive

• Use lice repellent sprays or other products on the hair and scalp.

• Tie back long hair in braids or ponytails to discourage lice from nesting in the hair.

• Wear a shower cap when swimming or visiting public showers.

• Avoid lying on beds, couches, or carpets that have not been treated for lice.

Following these tips can help reduce the risk of getting lice and help stop the spread of lice in the household.
