Covid-19 vs. Head Lice

As parents, we all worry and wonder about head lice when our kids return to school. Just hearing the word makes you itchy and stressed. What parent doesn’t dread getting that note sent home in their child’s backpack that there have been cases of head lice in the classroom? Well this year everything has changed for most of us. Our kids aren’t returning to school!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions the spread of head lice has stayed within the family or the “quarantine family.” At Lice Lifters we are not seeing a large outbreak of lice like we do every summer, but we are seeing an increase of family members within the same home with lice. Before Covid-19 one or two members of the family were filled with the little creatures now everyone has lice.

Some children are going back to school on a limited schedule and virtual multi-family pods. These smaller groups do not protect you from the spread of lice. It only takes one person with lice to spread the creepy crawlers to everyone. Just a brush of hair to hair contact, a lean into the computer or iPhone and a louse can sneak onto another head.

It is more important than ever to get a combing head check at Lice Lifters Treatment Centers so lice are not spread to the whole family. With all the closeness it is spreading quickly.

These creepy crawlers lay 5 to 10 eggs a day for a month so in no time there can be hundreds of bugs on your head. Lice Lifters treatment works every time so give us a call. We all wear masks; we see one family at a time and thoroughly clean our centers.

If you want to be sure you are lice free call get a head check from your favorite Lice Lifters location today. www.LiceLifters.com
