Summer break – staying at home or summer camp? To be or not to be… the eternal question J The end of school is near and with that, there will be fun activities and camps.  One thing you don’t want to pack with you is HEAD LICE!.

Lice is more common than you might think as there are more than 3 million cases a year. Don’t let you or your child be one of them, whether you are staying home or sending them to camp screen your child before and after the break to avoid outbreaks at home and have peace of mind!

Staying at home

Since we live in Southern California most of our summer time is spent outside or in the water. We are lucky enough to live by the ocean and have these beautiful beaches and many people might choose to spend the summer taking advantage of our beautiful nature surroundings. But what about head lice? Many think that the lice would be killed if they spent enough time in the water. Unfortunately, that is not the case as head lice can be under water for more than 6 hours! Even if we were able to drawn the bugs, the nits (lice eggs) will still be there. Those nits like to stick to the hair like glue which is why you may need a professional to help remove them from the hair. LCA San Diego is focused and committed to make your summer bug free so you can enjoy your fun in the sun!

Summer Camps
