The truth is that head lice aren’t “bad”.They’re the cause of stress and anxiety for many parents, caregivers, and even teachers, but they don’t cause any harm or illness. The mental strain caused by head lice is far more damaging than the little parasite itself, I PROMISE.

What I’ve found in a decade of being the local lice lady at this point is that the feeling of having no control and the inability to get rid of lice despite their best efforts is what effects clients the most. In many cases, clients have home treated unsuccessfully 2-3 times before they finally give us a call here at Lice Care Associates Danvers. As you can imagine, the time and money spent while trying to tackle this nuisance at home is stressful and expensive!

Our biggest focus in clinic is to eradicate and educate. We ensure that our clients leave lice free first and foremost, but we also ensure that you’re leaving educated and empowered not only to have the best prevention practices going forward, but to be able to handle that dreaded lice email coming home from school without panic and dread consuming you.

Our professional recommendations, which we also follow when it comes to our own children as professionals in the industry, are to do monthly screenings at home on your child(ren). This is a simple process and shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes (see our blog post on how to identify head lice properly HERE). We also recommend that if you are aware that lice is actually going around or if you know your child was exposed to a friend with lice to do weekly oil treatments with our lice prevention oil. Our non-toxic oil treatment is effective on all stages of lice and in the instance of an exposure it will stop in infestation in its tracks.
