Lice Resources

Discovering head lice in your household can feel stressful, but you’re far from alone, and it’s a common, manageable problem that has nothing to do with cleanliness or how well you care for your family. Lice spread mainly through close head-to-head contact, which is why they show up so often among school-age children and the people they live with. The good news is that with the right information and a little patience, you can clear an infestation and help keep it from coming back. The resources below walk you through how to check for lice and nits, compare treatment options, clean what actually needs cleaning (and skip what doesn’t), and talk with your child’s school or caregivers. Take it one step at a time, and remember that a few days of careful effort will get your household back to normal.
