Parent and Teachers Guide to Child Safety

Copyright 2005 Wayne Mc

Every home and school should have a first aid kit. Most

parents don’t think of having a safe and natural head lice

treatment ready at a moment’s notice. But first, before I

tell you why your child is at risk, let’s begin by defining

head lice.

There is a lot of social stigma around head lice

infestation and finger pointing by other parents and school

officials. Nobody wants to talk about head lice, but it

seems every parent is faced with this burdensome problem

each year. The more you know BEFORE an infestation happens

will help your child get rid of head lice faster and safely.

1. About Head Lice

Head lice do not jump, fly, or swim. Lice are NOT

contracted by unclean people. Children are infested by

direct contact. Typically, lice prefer clean well-kept

scalps and are most common in middle to upper class

schoolchildren.

2. Causes of Head Lice

Head lice are spread by direct head-to-head contact with an

infested person's hair. Head Lice " walk " from one hair or

head to another. Transfer by shared combs, hats and other

hair accessories is not that common because head lice need

to attach to a host.

3. Do Pets Transfer Head Lice?

Pets do not transfer head lice. Head lice and their eggs

soon perish if separated from their human host. Never treat

your pets for head lice.

4. What should be cleaned?

To prevent re-infestation wash and dry (with heat) all

bedding [sheets, pillowcases and nightclothes] plus any

towels or stuffed animals. Combs, brushes, hats and other

hair accessories in contact with an infested person should

be washed in hot water each day to dislodge any lice and

nits.

5. Safe Natural Treatments

Do not expose your children to dangerous chemicals to rid

them of head lice, nits and the eggs. Read the label. Most

products kill head lice with pesticides and have warnings

on the labels.

There are safe and effective treatments for getting rid of

head lice for your kids. Unfortunately, most of them are

not around the corner at your local health store.

Typically, a lot of stores sell name brand products with

harsh chemicals.

Be prepared and purchase a safe natural head lice treatment

BEFORE your child comes home with head lice. It makes

sense. You keep a first kit in your home for your child’s

safety. Don’t wait and shop around for a couple of days

while your child is suffering. You or another parent you

know, maybe called into action and are faced with a head

lice infestation. Quick, immediate action will stop any

head lice infestation from spreading to the entire family,

or at school. Purchase a safe, natural product today and be

prepared.
