The Head Lice Struggle: Frequently Asked Questions

While head lice may be quite the common occurrence amongst young children, there are still many individuals out there who don’t know the first thing about these blood-sucking parasites. More

Making Sure This Easter Is About Easter Eggs, Not Lice Eggs

With Easter just around the corner, you’re likely thinking of dyeing Easter eggs with your kids. You’ve got colors and designs on your mind, and your kids are excited about all the chocolate and candy eggs they’ll get to enjoy.

The last thing any of you are thinking about is eggs of an entirely different kind, eggs that bring nothing but worry and frustration—lice eggs!

The Wrong Kind Of Eggs

This Easter, you and your kids will be busy having fun with friends and family, with a lot of hugging, taking selfies, and just general head-to-head going on. Needless to say, any lice in your festive group will get a lot of opportunities to move around and infest other hair.

Infested people can carry up to 20 pests at a given time, from adult louse to nymphs to nits. These critters move quickly, undetectably, and while your kids are having the time of their life collecting and comparing their Easter eggs with peers, there is whole different kind of egg-affair bound to happen after the celebrations.

The last thing you want while your kids are still getting off the high of sugar and cheer is have their school nurse call you up and inform you that they have lice. So this Easter, be cautious.

Here’s what you can do to prevent a lice epidemic:

◙ Advise your kids to avoid direct head-to-head contact. They can get close to someone for a hug or to take a picture, but avoid touching heads.

◙ Any items of clothing, such as scarves, caps, hats, those fluffy bunny-ear head bands and similar items should NOT be shared.

◙ It’s also smart to check your kids’ hair before and after the Easter festivities. Adult louse are easier to spot, and if your child has just contracted one, it’s possible for you to stop an infestation in its tracks.

And if your child does get head lice anyways…no worries!

Scratch That Itch! What to Do When You Get the Urge to Scratch Your Head

The hardest battle you will ever fight is the one against yourself.

There comes a time when we must choose our battles. It’s not easy but with patience, determination, and discipline, we can achieve great things.

Like surviving a 3-hour social event where you’re dying to scratch your head.

Our battle against head lice isn’t new. It’s been going on since the beginning of time. There have been lice combs dating back to thousands of years. Whatever the case, one thing is certain: lice are enemy # 1.

But one thing that always makes it difficult to combat these critters is how they attack. While they are harmless, they are clever. You never know when a pesky parasite is going to show up to the party uninvited. And before you know it, you’re left struggling with an unbearable itch!

At parties, during your sister’s birthday, at a friend’s weddings, or during a date. These are some examples of when you’re left to deal with an itch you can’t scratch!

But rest assured! There are ways to handle the situation like a pro! Here are a few things you can do:

Use a Pen

When you’re at an educational seminar or event, you can always use the pen trick. Just pretend you’re thinking something, while writing down something “important”, and use your pen to scratch your head.

This is a win-win situation because you don’t have to deal with head lice and you’re going to look smart!

Fix Your Hair

Pretend your hairdo needs to be fixed. Use your brush to get rid of that itch! This will also help you style your hair in such a way that you won’t have to worry about pesky critters popping up and ruining the event for you!

Ah, It’s Hot Today!

If you’re outdoors, this is the perfect excuse. “Ah, it’s hot today! My head sure is itchy *scratch, scratch*”.

Chances are, another person will agree with you. Humidity equipped with hair is a recipe for itchiness and disaster.

Go to a Lice Removal Clinic

You can use the above strategies to ward off lice temporarily. Or you know, you could use the right weapon to exterminate the enemy once and for all.

A lice removal clinic helps get rid of head lice, using natural treatments. You no longer have to worry about going to social events without a pesky critter popping up out of nowhere!

We are a head lice removal clinic in Pembroke Pines that uses natural products to get rid of nits and lice from each strand of hair.

Dealing with a Lice Infestation in the Workplace

There are a varied number of things that need to be dealt with in the workplace on a daily basis. From work performance to personal conduct, there are numerous things that employees must be held accountable for.

This also includes the more personal aspects of employees, from disagreements with other coworkers to any misconduct or misbehavior.

However, there are certain situations that may leave you, as an employer or part of the management, scratching your head about how to deal with it.

One such situation may arise when an employee in the workplace has a head lice infestation.

An Objective Outlook

It’s important to not let personal biases get in the way here. Whatever reaction you may have to the presence of head lice in your vicinity, you must deal with the situation with utmost professionalism.

It would also help to educate yourself on the facts about head lice. This includes clearing up the misconception that head lice are due to poor hygiene or that they spread disease—two things that are entirely untrue.

You can have a one on one meeting with the employee in question, whether they come to inform you of your own volition or you have been notified by someone else.

In order to curb the infestation in the workplace, you can send out an informational e-mail on how a lice infestation has been reported. This message would encourage employees to take necessary precautions and treatments, and must be done without naming the person who has head lice for the sake of their privacy.

The employee can be provided with a brief leave to take care of the situation, and you can even give them a reference to a treatment solution for their head lice problem.

If you are within your rights to offer a recommendation, then you can direct your employee to lice removal service, that is, to Lice Busters USA!

We provide reliable head lice treatment that is guaranteed to get rid of any and all head lice present. Our lice clinics offer a comfortable, family friendly atmosphere, with excellent customer satisfaction.

If you can’t make it to the clinic, we also do in-home treatments for the convenience of our clients. You don’t need to worry about privacy—we keep everything discreet!

Our lice removal services are available in a number of locations in Florida, including Miami, Orlando, Weston, Broward, and more.
