10 Symptoms of Head Lice

8. Infected Classmates

Lice have a tendency to spread quickly among the younger demographic. This is because they are more mobile and spend more time playing outside in often less sanitary conditions. They are also more likely to share items such as hairbrushes. If you receive a notice from your child's school warning of a lice infection, the risk of your child also having lice increases significantly. However, there are steps you can take to reduce your child's chances of getting lice. For example, you can purchase anti-lice shampoo containing essential oils.
