Don’t Bring Head Lice Home From Summer Camp

Going to summer camp as a child is where some of the best memories are made. Sadly, head lice also love summer camp! How do you make sure that your child returns home from summer camp head lice-free? There is plenty of head lice preventative care that you can do preemptively to help prevent your child from becoming a victim of a head lice infestation.

Get a head check prior to camp

There’s no better way to prevent a head lice infestation than prevention! Getting your child’s head checked for lice prior to starting summer camp can help the entire camp avoid an outbreak. Camps should encourage all campers to get checked by a professional lice removal service like Fresh Heads, prior to the start of camp.

Keep your hair tied back

Because head lice is spread through direct contact, it is always safer to keep your child’s hair tied up in braids, bun, or any of their favorite updos. This will lower the chances of their hair coming in contact with other children who have a lice infestation.

Buy preventative lice spray to use before and at camp

While most over-the-counter lice treatments are ineffective and time-consuming, some preventative sprays can help prevent the spread of head lice. Lice do not like the smell of mint, rosemary, and tea tree oil. So, making a mix of these fragrances and spraying it as perfume and on personal items can help at repelling lice.

Discourage close contact selfies with other campers

Selfies and picture taking is one of those things at summer camp that is just going to happen. So, asking your child not to take pictures with their friends is just not going to happen. But you could try discouraging them from taking close head-to-head contact selfies with them.
