- Treat head lice with a head lice shampoo OR use wet combing- See "Treatment options Handout" on Interior Health website. Check your child’s head daily if a classmate or friend has head lice. Teach your child not to share scarves, combs, brushes, hats, or other headgear.
- Just remember – head lice does not spread disease and thus, they are not a major public health concern. However, itchiness from head lice can be irritating and uncomfortable for children, so it is important for families to help prevent and control its spread.
- If you need more information please call the local health nurse or visit the Interior Health website. https://www.interiorhealth.ca/YourHealth/SchoolHealth/HeadLice/Pages/default.aspx
