Things to Remember If You Have Lice

If you or a family member has lice, stay calm and do not panic. Panicking about these pesky pests will only stress you out and not fix the problem. Lice Clinics of America in Racine is here to tell you of a few things to remember if you or a family member has lice.

Do Not Buy Lice Removal Drugstore Kits

Although they are often more affordable, they are not often an effective treatment. You often need to purchase multiple kits and do several rounds to completely kill all of the lice. Lice treatment centers usually offer much better, non-toxic, products to help you and your family prevent and treat lice. Your scalp can not handle the over-the-counter treatment kits. These kits are often full of chemicals that can be dangerous to the scalp.

Treat Lice Quickly

When you realize you or a family member has lice, treat them quickly. The most efficient and effective treatments for lice are to go to a lice clinic near you. Lice Clinics of America in Racine use a patent machine called an AirAlle device. This device treats the entire head with a safe level of heat to dehydrate the pesky pets. This machine has a 90-minute treatment and often does not need a second treatment at all. Remember, leaving lice in your hair for an extended period of time can result in an itchy scalp and sometimes diseases.

Stay Away From Selfies

The only way to contract lice is through head-to-head contact. With that being said do not touch heads with anyone around you at all times. Remember, lice cannot fly and do not jump, these are false statements about lice. Stay away from selfies and keep your head to yourself until you lice free completely. 

Do Not Rush To Cut Your Hair

Once lice are located on you or a family member do not go out and cut your hair! Lice do not care if the hair is short, straight, curly, or long in length. Changing your hair length or how you style it will not cure the lice and will not prevent you from getting lice again in the future.
