Lice is a nationwide epidemic and it is really hard to protect your kids. It is you want to protect your kids from flu. The key is EARLY DETECTION of lice: always look thoroughly in the head of your child and check for any pruritis (itching) of the body. You can ask also your pediatrician to prescribe a spray against lice used for PREVENTION.
As for the TREATMENT, use specific shampoo against lice and all household members should be treated at the same time. Nits can be removed with a fine-toothed comb. Clothing and bed linens should be laundered in very hot water or dry-cleaned; brushes and combs should be discarded and then cleaned in boiling water.
