My child has HEAD LICE.. NOW WHAT?

By June 2, 2023May 6th, 2024No Comments

So… you just found out that your child has head lice?

Before you panic.. TAKE A DEEP BREATH!

IT HAPPENS! If your children are attending school, birthday parties, sleepovers, playdates or even just taking a picture with someone, your child’s chances of contracting head lice increase.

When children place their heads close to another childโ€™s head infected with Lice, they unintentionally welcome these pesky little creatures to take a quick, easy ride to their hair. It only takes three seconds of contact for lice to spread from one person to another.

But DO NOT PANIC! I’m Pete the Lice Guy and I’ve treated over 13,000 individuals for head lice and consider myself the expert.

So, what do you do if you find out that your child has head lice? Follow these easy steps for a safe and effective treatment process!

  1. Purchase your Products: You have options on what product to choose. Choose the Simplicety At Home Treatment Kit! Included is the enzyme repellent spray, Nit Free Terminator Comb, rat-tail comb, hair clips, disposable cape and exclusive access to the step-by-step video instructions.
  2. Notify Others: There is no need to announce it on Facebook or Instagram but you definitely want to notify your child’s inner circle. I recommend you notify your child’s school, daycare and any close contacts. This will help to prevent the spread any further.
  3. Treat the Infestation: It’s true there are different approaches to treating head lice, and most people focus on killing the bugs. But lice professionals know that the way to really treat head lice is by removing the eggs (nits.) The bugs are the easy part; it’s the nits that need your attention.
  4. Home Care: Wash bedding. It will not matter the temperature of the water you use but make sure it’s dried on high heat for at least 45 minutes.
  5. Hair Products: Brushes, ponytail holders and other accessories used in the last day can be placed in a resealable bag and placed in the freezer overnight.
  6. Prevent Re-Infestation: Encourage your child to avoid head-to-head contact with others. After self-treating, it’s best to check the hair a week later to ensure nothing was missed and to prevent re-infestation from friends.
  7. Remain Calm: Address the situation promptly but do not panic.
