\"\"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 Lice Consultants and Associates\u00d2 – San Diego<\/a>. Families gather, kids are home from school and having sleepovers and parties, and head lice<\/a> spread.<\/p>\n

Every year, we see people getting head lice<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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. \u201cBecause head lice can move quickly, their detection requires expertise and experience,\u201d the NCBI said. \u201cExpertise is key to diagnosis.\u201d Even health care providers frequently misdiagnose head lice infestations.<\/p>\n

We offer professional screenings<\/a> at our clinic and highly recommend them before and after school breaks. It\u2019s the best way to have peace of mind that your household is lice free. You can\u2019t rely on a child scratching his or her head because many children have no symptoms for several weeks. Head lice are fast\u2014they can travel eight inches per second and will go deep into a child\u2019s hair when frightened, which can make them really hard to find on children with long hair.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, people think they have head lice but a professional screening reveals it\u2019s just dandruff or dry skin. Parents shouldn\u2019t have to pay to be treated for something they don\u2019t 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 \u00ae device, the only FDA-cleared medical device that provides fast and effective head lice treatment<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
