Everyone has a story and a way they dealt with lice, which may follow with some good advice, however, there remains to be a collection of myths and incorrect information out there.

Getting professional help saves time, money and headaches in the long run. What can be a tedious task for parents or caregivers is efficient and faster than you think with an experienced lice professional. After all, lice can be stubborn, and a case is not eradicated until every louse and egg is removed. “Having help”, says Ginnifer AndersonBrown, Lice Squad London-Sarnia franchise owner, “especially if it’s your first time around, will give you the tools and technique to take care of a case if it ever happens again.”
Dealing with lice can feel isolating and frustrating. Lice is passed around via direct contact with an infected individual. Therefore, managing outbreaks at schools, camps and daycares is a shared responsibility. It’s important to be aware of incidents of lice, advocate for regular screening, and share news when lice are discovered. Everyone in the family, in the circle of friends, and in the classroom needs to be aware so that they can be on the look-out for the first sign of lice – scratching!
Lice is a common childhood condition – right up there with the common cold. It’s unusual to escape lice during the school years and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Reach out. Spread the word, not the bug.
