THE BACK TO SCHOOL HEALTH CONCERN NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT



They sneak up on you and turn an innocuous little itch into a panic attack; they can close down a school, prompt whispering between friends and can increase Mom’s nightly wine consumption exponentially.  

It’s time to come clean, bring it to the forefront of conversation and be proactive against this problem that affects nearly 12 million school age children each year.

We’re talking about head lice! While not a serious health issue, head lice is a big nuisance to millions of families each year.  Back to school is the most prevalent time of year for outbreaks so the maker of Fairy Tales’ Lice Good-Bye Survival Kit has the following tips to stay lice free.
•        Teach your children never to share hats, helmets, brushes, combs and hair ties.
•        Don’t wash the hair every day – lice like clean hair not dirty. It’s easier to grab on to a clean hair shaft.
•        Each week check “hot spots” including behind ears, back of neck and part lines with a good metal nit comb.
•        Use prevention.  Studies have shown that lice don’t like the smell of rosemary, citronella, tea tree and peppermint oils. Rosemary Repel Hair Care is a daily line of products designed to clean, condition and help prevent head lice.

My Thoughts

So far I have been pretty fortunate. My kids have never had lice (I am knocking on wood right now).  But I know the threat is out there, and I take it very seriously. You never know who your kids are sitting next to in school or whose head was touching the seat on the bus before them.  Luckily, you can stop lice in their tracks or prevent them before they even start, thanks to the wonderful hair care products from Fairy Tales Hair Care. They have shampoo, conditioner, and more that not only leaves hair soft and shiny, but also prevents the outbreak of lice. Plus its made with only all natural ingredients.

 The Lice Goodbye Survival Kit comes with everything you need to protect your family. First, it has a treatment that  will obliterate lice where they start. Massage it into the scalp and let it sit for 15 minutes. It kills lice and does it a way that is completely natural and non-toxic.  It even comes with a nifty little NitFree Terminator comb to help get rid of them. If you are looking for prevention the detangler is the way to go. It comes in a pleasant rosemary scent that naturally deters insects. The detangler also worked wonders on my daughter's fine hair which always gets very tangled when she washes it. Best of all, its offering my children the protection they need to prevent lice before it ever happens.  You can't ask for a better kit. Every parent should have one on hand because you never know when lice may strike.
