The Best Way To Treat Lice Is To Avoid Getting Them!
Head lice are a fact of life, but you can help reduce the risk of infestation.
Protecting your family from Head Lice:
*Discuss the subject of lice openly with your family.
*If there is a head lice outbreak in school or daycare, check everyone who's had close contact with the infested person with a nit comb for nits/lice.
*Encourage children not to share anything that touches their heads.
*Talk to your local pharmacist about using a preventative treatment that does not contain harsh chemicals.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Mayo Clinic, more research is needed to prove the effectiveness and safety of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines that claim to prevent lice. While a few studies have suggested certain ingredients in OTC products—including rosemary oil, lemongrass, tea tree oil, citronella, lavender oil, and eucalyptus oil—may repel lice, these products aren’t regulated or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
