Lice Patrol: Heads Up On Spring Break!

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - April 14, 2022 - PRLog -- Huntington Beach, California "Your Child has Head Lice - come pick them up!" Words that strike fear in any parent's heart. Huge "yuck" factor. Spring break creates a big spike in cases of head lice. Pam Skinner, owner of Picky Pam at the Beach - a professional lice treatment service in Huntington Beach - explains why spring break is a major time for head lice.

"Lice is spread by 'head to head' contact. Kids touch heads when they play, camps, sleepovers, family get-togethers, travel. We get crazy busy after spring break!" Skinner suggests 5 simple steps to deal with a lice outbreak:

1. Check everyone in the Family (part hair, look around ears, nape of the neck, & crown of the head).  If you are not sure what to look for, watch a tutorial video on LiceFreeKids.com.

2. Don't buy drug store lice shampoos at the pharmacy - they are often toxic & ineffective.

3. Apply an enzyme-based, lice killing product. -they are natural, digestive enzymes, we recommend the Coco Loco Nit Kit (www.licefreekids.com). $60 & includes everything you need to treat lice naturally, at home.

4. Place pillow cases and towels in the  dryer, brushes/combs in the dishwasher, or in a ziplock in the freezer for 6 hours.

5."Once a Week - Take a Peek" -use a good lice comb, we like the NitNabber, bright light, and look for those critters! Excellent 'how to' videos at LiceFreeKids.com.
