Head Lice Tips

Head lice are a part of every community. Check your child at least weekly for head lice.

If you find lice, please let the school know.

Here are some tips and facts about head lice:

• Anyone with clean or dirty hair can get head lice. It can be hard work to get rid of them.

• Head-to-head contact is the most common way lice are spread.

• Lice don’t jump or fly. Pets do not carry human lice.

• Lice need human blood to live. They’ll die within 48 hours if they can’t get it. It takes the eggs

about a week to hatch.

• An itchy scalp is the most common symptom of having head lice and may continue for a while

after treatment

• Lice treatment products help remove lice, but does not kill the eggs. You must still physically

remove the lice and nits by combing or picking them out.

• Don’t panic or re-treat if you see live lice after treatment. Remove any lice you find.

• When using NIX, do not apply any type of hair conditioner, hair spray, mouse or gel or get

chlorinated pool water on treated hair for one week.

• Do not use head lice shampoo more than once a week.

• The use of mayonnaise, kerosene, vaseline, vinegar, and other home remedies are not proven to

be effective and can be dangerous. Shaving head is not necessary. If you do not want to use an

over-the-counter treatment product, just comb out the nits with a good lice comb.

Notify anyone who may be affected. If possible, children should be nit-free before

returning to school or childcare.

Please contact Miranda our School Health Assistant with any questions or concerns.
