Being Nice to Lice Victims—Don’t Play the Shame Game!

“Katie has lice because she doesn’t bathe.”

Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, you know it’s been used thousands of times to shame victims of lice infestation. Playgrounds play an important role in the spreading of lice. This is because there is a lot of activity involved that can help spread the problem. Sports, fights and head-to-head interactions play an important role.

In addition, kids nowadays use smartphones to take selfies with their friends. This leads to head-to-head interactions.  And before you know it, your child comes home with a note that tells you about the lice epidemic at their school.

You instantly check your child’s hair and upon finding they don’t have pesky critters roaming freely in the strands of their hair, you let out a sigh of relief. But that sigh of relief can be a scream for help for some mothers.

If word gets out that the kids with lice are in your neighborhood, you’re likely to tell your child to stop playing with them. The reason? It’s not just because they have lice. They have lice because they’re unclean.

This problem is often times seen in our neighborhood, our schools and even at workplaces. In reality, hygiene has nothing to do with contracting lice. In fact, lice do not have a specific type of victim they go for. They do not prefer clean hair or dirty hair—they like both.

Clean hair helps them roam around freely and dirty hair helps them cling to the scalp and camouflage in the strands of your hair.

Many lice victims feel helpless and frustrated because these critters are not only pesky, they are stubborn. The use of anti-lice products such as shampoos, gels and sprays can damage the hair and injure the scalp. This leads to hair loss.

In addition, using homemade ingredients can result in frizzy and greasy hair, making it even easier for lice to hide. This makes the situation for victims worse, who are already at a loss, not knowing what to do.
