LiceDoctors Warns Families of Increased Head Lice Risk as Children Return to School
LiceDoctors says 6 million to 12 million U.S. children ages 3 to 11 face annual infestations, and early treatment can help stop spread.
On Monday, LiceDoctors issued a reminder for families and schools in the United States to remain alert for head lice as children return to classrooms and resume close-contact activities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 6 million to 12 million annual head lice infestations among United States children ages 3 to 11, with lice spreading primarily through direct head-to-head contact.
Parents should watch for persistent itching, a tickling sensation, or visible nits, particularly around the ears and nape of the neck; the CDC recommends examining these areas when symptoms or exposure raise concerns.
LiceDoctors Owner Derek Croft said, "Lice can become a stressful problem for families," and the company provides all-natural, in-home treatment performed by experienced technicians to address infestations.
Operating seven days a week, LiceDoctors has treated more than 600,000 clients over 20 years and backs its services with a 30-day guarantee for families seeking professional lice removal.
