MANILA, Philippines – Head lice are more than just a nuisance: it can be a source of psychological distress and may even be traumatic if the affected person is a child who then becomes a victim of teasing or even bullying. However, if one child becomes infected with head lice, the entire household is threatened. This calls for measures that protect the entire home and all family members. There are several steps you may take to protect your home from head lice. Practicing personal hygiene will help prevent head lice infestation.  Shower daily and be sure to keep the hair clean. It’s important that family members avoid sharing combs and hairbrushes. Head lice can be transferred from one person to another through direct contact (head lice cannot hop from one person’s head to another’s) so sharing combs and hairbrushes increases the risk of getting infected. Sharing beddings, linens, and pillows with an infected person may also spread head lice. When a head lice infestation is present in the house, soak all the beddings, linens, and pillowcases in hot water (around 130 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes. Alternatively, these items may be placed in a hot dryer for about 30 minutes, or they may be dry-cleaned. Clean and vacuum around the house. Keeping the house free of dirt and mess will help get rid of head lice that may be lying around.  Fortunately, lice and nits cannot survive long without a human host — only about one or two days.
