How do I prevent my child from becoming re-infected?

Star

Avoid head-to-head contact during play and other activities at home, school, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).

Star

Do not share clothing such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, hair ribbons, or barrettes.

Star

Do not share infested combs, brushes, or towels.

Star

Do not lie on beds, couches, pillows, rugs, carpets, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with an infested person.

Star

Always have girls wear their hair up, in a ponytail, and then braid the ponytail, and then put in a bun. There should be no hanging hair. As an extra precaution, spray entire head and bun with hairspray.

Star

To help control a head lice outbreak in a community, school, or camp, children can be taught to avoid activities that may spread head lice.

Does tea tree oil repel lice?

No, although any oil like olive oil or baby oil could deter lice from laying eggs on the hair if you do not already have lice.
