LICE NOT A SIGN OF POOR HYGIENE – WINTER IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR AN OUTBREAK!

Winter is on its way, and soon the kids will be bundled up in hats, scarves and hooded jackets. At Lice Lifters Treatment Centers we know this means it's a great time of year for spreading head lice!

Catching head lice is not a sign of poor hygiene. It just means that one was unfortunate enough to get close to a source of lice. Lice do not hop or fly, but they do crawl from an infested person to someone else. Common ways to spread lice are by close contact during play and sleep overs, and sharing things such as hats, hairbrushes, towels and pillows.

Over-the-counter lice remedies are available; however, these treatments contain pesticides that can be harmful to your family.  In our treatment centers we have also found that lice have become resistant to the harmful chemicals in these products.  Our The Nit Nanny product line is all natural.

If your family runs into a lice outbreak this winter we recommend that everyone in the family be treated.  Our The Nit Nanny® Products are all natural and pesticide free, so they may be used time and again without worry.

The best thing to do about head lice is to try to avoid them! Remind (Nag if you must!) your children to keep their hats, coats and scarves and HAIR away from those of others.

Girls, in particular, tend to share combs and brushes and try on each other's headgear. This is a bad idea.
