Appendix A
What Parents and Caregivers Can Do…
Learn how to check for live lice using wet combing and be aware of the recommended treatment options (Appendix D and E).
Check the heads of all family members for head lice weekly using the wet combing method.
It is possible to have head lice more than once; therefore weekly wet combing checks help identify head lice re-infestations.
If live lice are found using the wet combing method, treat only family members with live lice.
Encourage your children not to share hair accessories, hats, combs, brushes, or anything that comes in contact with your child’s head.
Remind family and friends about the importance of routine head checks.
Tie back long hair to help avoid getting head lice.
