🎒📚 Back-to-School No-Nos: Beware of Head Lice! 🪳
As the little ones prep for another academic year, be on high alert for an unwelcome guest – head lice! 🏫🧒
The buzz this September is a potential head lice outbreak. Superdrug has noted a whopping 21.2% surge in sales of their head lice spray, right as the school bells start chiming. This isn’t just a coincidence. The social whirl of the new school term (think sleepovers and playdates) creates a playground for these pesky critters.
Here’s the good news: you can outsmart them! 🕵️♂️
**Spot the Issue: Kids Bugged?**
– Intense itching or telling you there’s a “tickling” sensation.
– Red bumps or rashes – check that scalp, especially behind their ears.
– Seeing live lice? They’re tiny, fast, and shy of the light.
**Fight Back: No More Nits!**
– Regular checks are gold. Comb through your child’s hair with a fine-toothed comb to catch these sneaky invaders.
– Consult your local pharmacist for top treatment options. They can guide you on usage and spot those sneaky lice.
– Use treatment lotions from Superdrug, but remember: inspect before treating!
– Wet combing works wonders. Consistency is key!
**Spread the Word, Not the Lice:**
– Sharing hair accessories is a no-go. Keep those hats, brushes, and combs personal.
– Got a kiddo with long hair? Secure it in plaits for added protection.
Though lice are mostly harmless, they sure are a nuisance. By staying vigilant this September, you can keep your home lice-free. 👊
