Spring Break Lice Check | What to Do 7 Days Before Travel in San Diego

/in , ,

Spring break is supposed to be easy. But if you get that first itch, a school notice, or you spot something that looks like a nit, travel prep turns into panic fast. The goal is not to “deep clean your whole life.” The goal is to catch a problem early, handle it correctly, and avoid reinfestation right before you leave.

For many San Diego families, spring break lines up around late March to early April, so early planning actually matters.

Why a 7-day plan works

Lice problems usually blow up because people do two things:

  • They wait too long to check because they are not sure what they’re looking for.
  • They do a half-treatment or skip the follow-up steps, then it “comes back” right before a trip.

A simple 7-day plan forces structure. It also keeps you from wasting hours on cleaning that does not move the needle.

Day 7: Do the right check (this is where most parents mess up)

What you need

  • Bright light
  • Regular comb plus a fine-toothed nit comb
  • Conditioner (for wet combing)
  • Paper towel or white tissue (so you can see what comes out)

How to check quickly but accurately

  1. Wet the hair and apply conditioner.
  2. Section the hair and comb from scalp to ends.
  3. Wipe the comb onto the tissue after each pass.

What you’re looking for:

  • Live lice: tiny, fast, and usually near the scalp.
  • Nits: egg casings stuck to hair shafts. They do not flick off like dandruff.

If you find something and you are unsure, don’t guess. Guessing is how families end up treating when they don’t need to, or not treating when they do.

Day 6: If you found lice, get your treatment plan straight

Here’s the blunt truth: “one-and-done” rarely works if you do not follow instructions and follow-up timing.

You have two practical paths:

  • A careful at-home approach (treatment plus disciplined comb-outs and rechecks)
  • Professional evaluation and removal to reduce error, stress, and time

If you’re leaving soon, speed and accuracy matter more than trying five random home hacks.

Day 5: Clean the items that matter (skip the rest)

This is where people lose their minds and waste time.

The CDC’s guidance is simple: machine wash and dry clothes, bedding, and items used in the two days before treatment, using hot water and high heat drying. If you can’t wash something, seal it in a plastic bag for two weeks.

Quick hit list for travel season

  • Pillowcases, sheets, favorite blanket
  • Recently worn hoodies, hats, hair towels
  • Stuffed animal that was slept with recently
  • Brushes and combs (soak in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes)

Skip:

  • Fumigation
  • Spraying pesticides around the house
  • Obsessive washing of everything you own

Day 4: Tighten up the “how it spreads” risks

Lice spread most often through close head-to-head contact. So the week before travel, focus on behavior that lowers exposure without making your child feel “gross.”

Do this for the week

  • Tie up long hair (braids are your friend)
  • Avoid sharing brushes, hats, helmets, headphones
  • For siblings: reduce head-to-head play while you’re checking and treating

This is especially relevant before carpools, sleepovers, family gatherings, and crowded travel days.

Day 3: Understand “no-nit” notes and school rules without panicking

Some parents get stuck because they think a child must be 100% nit-free to return to school. California public health guidance notes there’s no evidence that “no-nit” policies prevent or shorten outbreaks, and several major health organizations oppose them.

What that means for you:

  • A nit does not always mean an active infestation.
  • The priority is correct identification and proper treatment, not shame or overreaction.
  • If you need documentation or guidance, keep it factual and calm.

Day 2: Recheck and plan for your travel week

If you treated, recheck the scalp and repeat combing. If you did not treat because you found nothing, do a second check anyway. This is the “catch it early” checkpoint.

Pack a mini travel kit

  • Nit comb
  • Hair ties or clips
  • Small bottle of conditioner
  • A zip bag for used combs or hair items

This is not paranoia. It’s just basic preparedness.

Day 1: Final check before you leave

Do one last wet-comb check in good light, especially behind ears and at the nape of the neck. If you find anything the day before travel, do not improvise. You need a clear next step quickly, because rushed DIY attempts are where mistakes happen.

When to consider a professional check in San Diego

Choose a professional evaluation if:

  • You’re not sure what you’re seeing (nits vs dandruff vs buildup)
  • Your child cannot sit still for a thorough comb-out
  • You treated already and you’re still seeing signs
  • You are traveling soon and want a fast, confident answer

Head Lice Can Happen While Your Social Distancing

/in , , ,

Head Lice can happen while your social distancing right at home where you least expect it.

Direct head to head contact is almost inevitable, so we can help you be on the lookout for lice. It is recommended that at the start of a possible lice ordeal, that you screen each member of your household for head lice. Although you cannot catch an egg from another person, head lice are often spread by head to head contact with someone who has bugs present. This can happen when reading books with one another, playing, binge- watching netflix with your kiddos or even a simple hug. With these activities there is definitely a chance that head lice could be passed around your family. Helping with homework, hugs, using the same towel, sharing a brush or laying your heads together are a few scenarios parents will most likely find themselves in during the upcoming weeks with their children where head lice can be passed from one to the other.

Check Your Children First

Head lice most often occur in children between the ages of 3-10 because of their involvement with other children. While that is a true statement, we are seeing an increase of tweens and teens with head lice as well in the recent years. While your kids are coming home from school for long periods of time, first double-check that they are not showing symptoms of head lice. This will help a lot and help you stay on top of an infestation before it has the chance to spread to the household members.

What to look for

The easiest way to find lice is knowing what to look for. The adult head lice tend to run away quickly from light and can weave in and out of hair strands to avoid being found. It is recommended that you use a nitpicking comb to sift through hair strands. Get a white paper towel and a bowl of clean water. Comb along the scalp from front of the hair line to the nape of the neck. After each section, wipe it onto the paper towel and examine your finding. Everytime you wipe it onto the paper towel, clean it off in the bowl of water between sections. Adult head lice are sesame seed-sized insects and brown in color.

Lice eggs referred to as “Nits” are a clear indication that you have head lice. Transparent or tan in color, lice eggs are glued to the base of hair strands by the mother louse. She uses a glue-like secretion to stabilize her eggs to your hair strands, preventing them from flaking off easy like you dandruff would. On an average, the female only mates once in her life and is able to lay eggs until she dies. The female louse lays anywhere from 7-10 eggs a day, which can add up quickly if left untreated.

After a few weeks of head lice living on the scalp, the itching will most likely start to happen. Irritated red bumps and a small rash will most likely be present. Night time is the active period for head lice, so many children also have trouble sleeping because of the feeling of head lice crawling through their hair and itching.

The 10 Reasons Juicing Can Improve Your Life

/in , , ,

The 10 reasons juicing can improve your life may forever change your outlook on the power of fruits and veggies.

Every time you eat food, your body attempts to break it down as much as it can to find any nutrients in what you chose to eat. Then it sends any of the nutrients to the one hundred trillion cells that make up YOU and the cells use those as materials to regenerate. So, the saying “ You are what you eat” is very much true!

When you are juicing, the juicer is programmed to extract all of the nutrients from the vegetables and fruits for you, saving your body’s energy because it does not have to break down the food itself. It also can absorb the juice quickly and use its extra energy to heal and repair.

Without a shadow of a doubt, juicing will transform your health and here are the 10 reasons why juicing is so good for you:

1. Juicing is the fastest way to get nutrition into the body. The juicer extracts all of the juice out of the vegetables and fruits by separating it from the fiber. So, you are left with a juice and a tasteless pulp at the end (because all the goodness has been taken out). The juice (full of phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals) is easily absorbed by your body, which means it gets to your cells quickly to nourish and repair them.

2. Juicing is an easy way to eat enough vegetables. Most of us struggle to eat vegetables and fruits in general, and some even find chewing through the same salad to be impossible. To combat the trend of ill-health in the western world, 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day is what we need to aim for, and juicing is the ultimate way to get a head start.

3. Juicing protects heat-sensitive nutrients and gives them to you. The heating process in cooked and processed foods completely destroys the micronutrients in vegetables by changing their chemical composition. By juicing raw vegetables harnesses their highest possible nutritional value.

4. Juicing is the antidote to the modern, acidic diet. When you feed your cells acid-forming foods such as sugar, white flour, coffee, meat and alcohol, the blood becomes acidic and the body will start struggling. To balance the effects of an acidic diet, it is important to significantly increase your intake of alkaline-rich foods like vegetable and fruit juices.

5. Juicing is a quick way to change how you feel. One fresh juice, on an empty stomach, every day will start to give you more energy and improve your mood in a dramatic way. The variety of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes protect your cells from disease and premature aging.

6. Juicing helps you absorb more nutrients from vegetables. Many people have busy lives and our diets are ‘sub-optimal’, which means that our digestion has become impaired and it’s harder for the body to get the nutrients from our food. Because the juicer does the hard work in separating the juice from the fiber, it’s far easier for the body to take in most of the nutrition right away.

7. Juicing gets you more compliments. You’re made up of around 100 trillion cells, so when you drink fresh juices and your cells become clearer and healthier, you’ll start to look different almost instantly. Better skin, a ‘glow’, healthier hair, weight loss, better mood and more energy are some of the incredible side effects.

8. Juicing is a lifeline when you’re sick. We’re surrounded by stress in our diets, environment and lifestyles, and juicing is one of the best ways to keep the immune system healthy and prevent illness. There are thousands of testimonials for using juicing to u-turn chronic illnesses and conditions, from allergies to diseases.

9. Juicing gives you that extra spring in your step, no matter how healthy you are. Even if your diet is squeaky clean, where stress and environmental pollution are unavoidable, juicing makes sure your cells and blood are getting all they need to stay clean, nourished and hydrated. Your body will thank you.

10. Juices are simple to make and kids enjoy them too. All of us need excellent nutrition to be healthy, especially children as they grow at a fast rate. Having a juicer in the kitchen will let you introduce them to loads of raw fruits and vegetables, and in general if they’ve made it, kids will want to drink it too!

Get to Know Head Lice Symptoms from LCA San Diego

/in , , ,

Just thinking about head lice can make you start itching. If your school or daycare center has notified you that head lice have been detected, you’ll want to check your child (and yourself) immediately. According to Mercedes, owner of LCA San Diego-Orange County here are some of the signs your child may have head lice:

  1. Scratching: If your child is scratching his or her head more than usual, it may be time to check for lice. The most common symptom of head lice is itching. This is because lice bites can cause an allergic reaction in some people, which stimulates the itchy sensation. However, it can take a few weeks for this symptom to develop.
  2. Tickling sensation: Some children experience a “tickly” feeling from lice bites or from lice touching their skin. This is a less severe reaction than the itching.
  3. Sores or scratch marks: If you see sores or scratch marks on your child’s head or neck, it can be a sign your child has an active lice infestation. Children often scratch harder than they need to, which can break the skin and cause sores and scabs.
  4. Disruption of sleep patterns: Head lice can make sleep difficult for youngsters. If your child is having a harder time than usual going to sleep or staying asleep, that might be a sign that head lice have invaded his or her scalp.
  5. Irritability: If your child is more irritable than usual, this can be an indication that head lice are present. Irritability often coincides with chronic itchiness and sleeplessness. These symptoms can combine, especially when an infestation is more mature.

It’s important to point out that an itchy scalp alone is not always an indication of head lice. “Itchiness can also be a symptom of other harmless conditions, such as dandruff, allergies, or a reaction to a hair product,” said Mercedes. “Make sure you do your due diligence and double check.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), misdiagnosis of head lice infestation is common. The most reliable symptom, of course, is the presence of a live louse or lice on a child’s head.

How to Spot Lice
To be sure that your child has lice, you’ll need to do a physical inspection of his or her head and neck. “Checking your child’s head for lice is a simple process,” said Mercedes. “First, start at the nape area of the neck and around their ears. These are the locations where lice are most likely to live. They stay very near the scalp to stay warm, about a quarter of an inch from the skin. Separate the hair as finely as possible. It helps to wet the hair first as it takes care of the wispy hair. Head lice are about the size of a sesame seed. They can be difficult to see, so some people suggest using a magnifying glass if you have one. If you have a louse comb, run it through the hair multiple times, wiping it on a paper towel after each pass. Inspect the paper towel to see if you pull head lice or nymphs (young lice) from the hair. You’re three to five times more likely to accurately diagnose a lice infestation if you comb first, versus just visually inspecting the hair.”

About Eggs (Nits)
Identifying and removing live lice is just one step in the lice treatment process. “It’s just as important to identify and remove all eggs (nits). If all eggs are not killed or removed, they will hatch and you’ll have a fresh case of head lice on your hands,” said Mercedes. “Lice eggs are tiny, camouflaged, and they stick with a strong glue-like substance to the hair. Finding and removing eggs, also known as nitpicking, is best done using a fine-toothed comb.” Nits are often confused with other particles found in hair such as dandruff, hair spray droplets, and dirt particles.

Don’t Panic
“The most important thing to remember is to not panic,” says Mercedes. “While a case of head lice can be stressful and frustrating for parents and children, please keep in mind head lice do not cause serious health problems. In addition, lice infestations are completely unrelated to personal hygiene. The only reason your child has lice is because he or she had close contact with someone else that had lice.”

The good news is new technology now makes treating head lice fast and easy. LCA San Diego’s device is an FDA-cleared medical device, clinically proven to kill live lice and more than 99 percent of eggs in as little as an hour, guaranteed.

Create a Plan

Then narrow it down and find ways to improve adding self care into the plan weekly.

Meal Plan
Staying on top of a weekly meal plan can ultimately relieve you from many chores during the week. Meal planning is notorious for being a lifesaver on a few different levels.

You can even go to the local market or farm to pick fresh produce and products.

Read More Often

Volunteer

Know You’re Lice-Free Before Holiday Gathering

/in , , , ,

Know you’re lice-free before holiday gatherings for the ultimate peace of mind. Winter break is a peak time for head lice, according to Mercedes, owner of LCA San DiegoÒ – San Diego. Families gather, kids are home from school and having sleepovers and parties, and head lice spread.

Every year, we see people getting head lice during the holidays, disrupting their family time. The best way to keep head lice out of your home for the holidays is to know how to identify them in the first place. It is unfortunately not as easy as you may think.

According to the (NCBI), part of the National Institutes for Health, one of the challenges of dealing with head lice is correctly identifying the problem. “Because head lice can move quickly, their detection requires expertise and experience,” the NCBI said. “Expertise is key to diagnosis.” Even health care providers frequently misdiagnose head lice infestations.

We offer professional screenings at our clinic and highly recommend them before and after school breaks. It’s the best way to have peace of mind that your household is lice free. You can’t rely on a child scratching his or her head because many children have no symptoms for several weeks. Head lice are fast—they can travel eight inches per second and will go deep into a child’s hair when frightened, which can make them really hard to find on children with long hair.

Sometimes, people think they have head lice but a professional screening reveals it’s just dandruff or dry skin. Parents shouldn’t have to pay to be treated for something they don’t have. If we do find head lice, you can be treated on the spot and leave our clinic lice-free in one hour. We use the ® device, the only FDA-cleared medical device that provides fast and effective head lice treatment.”
