Preventing the Spread
of Lice
From their head to their bed,
here are some helpful tips.
In addition to treatment, here are some steps recommended by the CDCa to help stop the spread of head lice to other family members1,2:
- Kids will be kids, but tell them to avoid head-to-head contact while playing with other children, whether at school, on a playground, or during sports activities.
- Don't share combs, brushes, hats, scarves, bandannas, hair bands, ribbons, barrettes, or towels-basically anything that goes on the head.
- Wash bedding, clothing, and towels used by anyone with head lice in hot water and tumble dry in a hot dryer for 20 minutes.
- Do not use pest sprays or fogs in the house. They are not needed, and they can be harmful if they are inhaled or get on the skin.
- If there's a lice outbreak at your child's school, you may want to say no to sleepovers for a while, since lice can live in bedding, pillows, and carpets that have recently been used by someone with head lice.
