WE HOPE LICE PASSES OVER YOU THIS HOLIDAY

Now that warmer weather is here, we will likely see an increase in head lice infestations in school-aged children.  Lice are wingless parasites that thrive on human hair. This is a very annoying, yet common problem in children aged three to 12 years old. Head lice are highly contagious in this age group because of close contact with one another and a higher incidence of sharing personal items such as hats, combs and hairbrushes. Though lice are irritating, they are not dangerous and do not carry disease. They can cause some itching of the scalp as they do tend to bite and draw small amounts of blood to feed.

Don’t use pesticide based products when treating lice come to Lice Lifters. Find a Lice Lifters Treatment Center near you. http://www.licelifters.com/locations.html  All-NaturalThe Nit Nanny Products are always available http://www.thenitnanny.com/productsandprevention.html
