Lice VS Social Life

Communication is the key to successful relationships. Without interaction, most of us are often left feeling empty inside. Sharing our day with our friends, taking snapshots of things we enjoy and having heart-to-heart conversations is what makes our lives a little easier. Especially during a tough day at work, you need a friend to lighten the burden afterwards.

For most of us, our friends are like family. They are the people we interact with on an almost daily basis, the ones we tease and the ones we share our deepest, darkest secrets with.

So, when you’re struggling with a lice infestation, how do you let your friends know? It’s obvious that, it’s social suicide. On one hand, you have friends with whom you want to share things with, and on the other hand, there’s the dilemma of risking your social life.

You feel that sooner or later the cat will be out of the bag and you will be the odd one out. An outcast amongst your friends, being the victim of head lice can be difficult.

That kind of scenario is what gets most lice victims to take desperate measurements. To regain normalcy in their lives, they often end up taking the shaving-your-head route or opting for homemade remedies.

But the moment you start using homemade remedies, your hair starts falling apart. Your scalp is itchier, your hair is a frizzy mess, looking like a poodle.

When that doesn’t work, out of desperation, you go for everything labeled ‘anti-lice’ in department stores. You throw in every product that looks like it will work into the cart.

After using each and every product over the course of a few weeks, you feel like throwing in the towel. Not only were they not effective, the harsh chemicals made your hair fall out in clumps.

The worst part is, the lice combs that come with these products broke before they even went through your hair. The last thing you want is to shave your head but you just might do it.

Before you throw in the towel, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Not all hope is lost.

Millennial Problems: Selfies Could be Spreading Lice!

Lately, there’s been a buzz on social media about how selfies are spreading lice. On the surface, it looks like another gimmick created by the media to grab attention but, it really makes you wonder: is that really true?

And while the connection seems ridiculous, most individuals don’t even realize when they contract lice. There’s a perception that lice can “fly” and jump as high as fleas. But in reality, they can do neither. The way lice travel is by crawling at a fast pace, making it easier for them to infest another person while taking selfies.

While that shouldn’t stop us from spending time with loved ones and posting on social media, it’s still a problem that needs a solution. One would wonder how you can tell if someone you know has lice. The problem is that unless you spot a pesky, sesame seeds-sized critter, there’s no certain way of knowing. Do you wear a beanie or a hat while taking a picture? This doesn’t always work during the summers.

The problem isn’t selfies. The problem lies in the way we take pictures. But should we stop taking them? There’s no reason for that. Instead it’s best to take care of our luscious mane and prevent an infestation from occurring in the first place.

Preventing an Infestation

There are a couple of measurements you can take to prevent a lice infestation. Some of these include:

Tying Your Hair

When in the presence of a group or crowd, make sure to tie up your hair. This will ensure your hair’s safety because when you comb your hair back, it becomes a shield. It acts as armor against pesky critters who want to invade your hair.

It keeps them from going inside your hair and creating a ‘nest.’ When you wear braids, it becomes difficult for lice to crawl straight.

Head Lice Screenings

Lice removal services offer head lice screenings to help detect unnoticed lice and nits. This helps prevent the problem from becoming worse and stops the lice from spreading further. In addition, quick action helps address the problem in its early stages, making it easier to eliminate.

Home Inspections

Lice treatment centers also offer home inspections. They identify areas that need to be treated and quarantined. In addition, they clean the beds, pillows and bed sheets to ensure there are no more head lice.

At Lice Busters USA, we use natural products and special combs to effectively handle the job. If you’re looking for a lice treatment service in Orlando, call us at (800) 405-8201 for further information.

Post Head Lice Treatment: Hair Care Advice

If you’ve been a victim of a lice infestation before, you’re aware of the social consequences that follow. Your social life plummets and goes down the drain, and you’re labeled as that one person with lice.

Either of the two things happen: people you know avoid you or you avoid people. More

Playground Parasites: Lice and Their Obsession With Kids

Think about a louse for a second. One pesky critter, roaming freely in the strands of your hair, doing what it pleases. Now think about that louse meeting another louse in the strands of your hair.  They then multiply until there are a hundreds of them, turning from one louse to lice.

Just thinking about lice probably made you scratch your head. Imagine a hundred or thousands of them living off your blood, building nests on your scalp and their grandchildren—still in their ‘cocoon’—clinging to the fibers of your hair. More
