Freaking LICE!?


I work in a daycare, two little girls in a seperate classroom were sent home with lice today. All my kids were checked, so were the kids in the other room, but it's flipping me out!
Is there anything I can do to prevent myself from getting lice...and my children who are also at the daycare but in a different room.
I have heard that rosemary oil can be used to keep the lice away and am considering getting some tommorow. Is there anything else I can do?

We don't have lice, we want to keep from getting it. I'm not going to put my kids through treatment if they don't have lice

TEA TREE OIL

Pyronate 200

keep your hair up...in a pony tail or braid or something.

Get a special shampoo. And remember not to share a brush with them and try not to touch their hair or vice versa.


Hope I helped!

ask your family doctor. chances are no, those things can spread quickly and seprate room are no safe haven.

just make sure that ur kids dont put on any1 else's hat....

well, just in case you DO have it, buy a lice medicine. use it every day. and (it might be ugly) but wear a hat or something to keep from the lice jumping onto your scalp, but either way--USE LICE MEDICINE!!!i have some and i use it every time sum1 around me has lice :)

Head lice are wingless insects approximately the size of a sesame seed that feed on human blood. They are the most common form of lice infestation in the United States. The majority of cases occur in children between the ages of 3 and 10 and their families.

Head lice live approximately 30 days, with the female laying between five and 10 eggs per day. Nits (lice eggs) have a white to brown appearance and are usually found on hair strands near the scalp. They are attached firmly and may be difficult to remove. Nits hatch within approximately six to 10 days as nymphs, becoming adults about 10 days after that.

Yes, tea tree oil is great. My son got lice once and no one else in our family got it, and we shampooed with Melaluca shampoo.

i've heard that they don't like dandruff shampoo. however, traditionally it is reccomended that your kids not share bedding, combs, brushes, clothing or any surface where the lice can crawl and gain access to their heads. they prefer clean and free flowing hair so the oil and putting it up may be helpful. in nursing school the department of health lady swore up and down they don't jump, but as far as i'm concerned the jury is still out on that one. good luck-you'll need it.

I work very closely with children all day who occasionally have lice. I have been doing this for over 7 years and have never gotten lice. I wouldn't worry about it much.

Wash & dry on Hot.

They told you everything i would say. So, well.... I'll do a quick protection and health spell for you. Bright Blessings to you and yours!!
