If your child comes home from school scratching his head, lice may be finding a home in his hair.
Take action:
Check all family members for lice and nits at least once a week – only those infested should be treated; be sure not to confuse nits with hair debris such as bright irregularly shaped clumps of dandruff – lice treatment is not appropriate for hair debris; consult your pharmacist before using lice treatment pesticides when the person involved is pregnant, nursing, has allergies, asthma or epilepsy; use the lice-killing product over the sink, not in the tub or shower, and always keep the eyes covered; separate hair in sections and remove all attached nits with a comb, baby safety scissors, or your fingernails; wash bedding and recently worn clothing in hot water and dry in a hot dryer.
