AVOID AN ITCHY HEAD

Head lice can be a nuisance with no preference for personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home. With large numbers of young people going back to school, having multiple daily contacts may serve as a focal point for transmitting head lice.

To best protect against head lice,

DO NOT:

  • Share hats
  • Hairbrushes
  • Combs
  • Pillows

DO:

  • Weekly hair and scalp checks when lice are present in your community
