When it comes to head lice there are some basic things one needs to know.

First DON’T PANIC. In the big scheme of things, Head Lice is definitely manageable. Head Lice Treatment is a process. There is no one-time treatment. Proper follow-up is crucial! The average infestation takes between two and three weeks to clear up. Once the adult lice have been removed you should be back to your regular routine while you are finishing up the removal process. Children should not miss school because of head lice. Informing school, family and friends to be on look out for lice is extremely beneficial. The sooner you find head lice the easier treatment is. Homes don’t get head lice, people do. Focus your energy on your nitpicking, not your environment. Remember anyone can get head lice, it is all in the timing (90% of the time it is head-to-head contact with someone who has an active infestation).
