Another voicemail has been sent to parents of students at a Calabasas Middle School alerting them of a head lice outbreak. There have been many local schools affected by head lice.
Although head lice pose no real health threats, it is a nuisance!
They will not go away on it's own and must be manually removed.
Lice have become immune to OTC products, so it may be best to go natural with a really fine spiral-toothed comb-such as the "terminator."
These products can be purchased from a local "nit-picker," My Hair Helpers natural lice removal company.
Make sure that two treatments are done between 4-5 days of eachother.
Comb on wet hair every other day for two weeks, until no evidence of lice or nits is found in hair.
If your child has lice, consider hiring a professional. Many moms get lice, too—about 80 percent, whereas only about 20 percent for dads.
Lice will not leave on it's own. They multiply rapidly, laying eggs twice daily, with as many as 5 eggs each time.
Head lice is rarely passed through the environment—only 5%
The main way it is passed is head to head contact—95%
Keep girls' hair in pony tails as not to provide a "bridge" for the bugs.
