Lice - Yuck!

Lice...it's the worst word in the English language to parents with children in school. We hate lice. What, in reality, is there to like about them? Lice, of course, gets all of us to start scratching our heads as soon as we hear the word. We usually do it subconsciously, not even noticing that we are twitching and scratching. Oh - the joys of lice. No one wants to have lice, of course, but it is important to address this issue as the school year gets under way.

Lice is a very large problem in schools. There are a million remedies out there from special shampoos, to mayonnaise, to rosemary to special sprays. It's important to know what will make you comfortable. Some people don't like putting chemicals on their child's head. Others are only too happy to do whatever it takes to get rid of the pests. The best thing to do is to be preventative. Get a spray from your pharmacy that you can use each morning on your children. Put a little rosemary in their hair in the morning. Shampoo often and comb their hair out with a lice comb. The more diligent and pro-active you are - the lest mess you'll have to deal with later! Stop itching and start acting.
