I’m so glad that Spring is here! It seems that everyone is making Spring break plans. In the lice business, the end of this vacation always brings an increase in head lice cases.
Every season is lice season, because head lice rely on the temperature of your head, not the temperature of the environment. Body temperature doesn’t change, so it’s always head lice season. We do see a spike after spring break due to how social everyone is when it gets warmer.
When families are on vacation, they may be in contact with more friends, so maybe there’s an increased chance of getting lice. However, when people are on vacation they also forget about lice. There is no one reporting school outbreaks, nurses aren’t doing head checks. People forget about lice. When they return from break the head checks begin and voila head lice! So, is it that there’s an increase or was it there all along?

The best way to avoid getting lice is to keep hair pulled back tight, in a bun or braids and spray the hair with Lice Lifters Mint Deterrent Spray every day. Telling kids not to have hair to hair contact just won’t work on vacation. Also don’t share hat and brushes with friends. This so hard on vacation because girls love sharing and doing each other’s hair. Don’t live your life in fear of lice; Lice Lifters Lafayette Hill is here to help you. We are open 7 days a week with flexible hours.
