Non-Toxic Treatment and Preventions for Lice

Fairy Tales Natural Lice Prevention and Treatment

There are 12-15 million cases of head lice reported each year in the U.S. and I have yet to know any school of young children that hasn’t had a child or two that gets lice during a school year. Lice infest children more than adults because kids have more head to head contact at that age.

Lice are mostly spread through head to head contact. They can also be transmitted by sharing personal items such as hats, helmets, brushes, combs, hair ties, towels and head phones. They do not fly or jump but they can survive off the human head for up to 36 hours on bedding, clothing, backpacks etc. Lice can also survive in water.

Lice are not dangerous and don’t spread disease, but they are contagious and bothersome. Their bites can cause a child’s scalp to become itchy and irritated. Unless treated, persistent scratching can cause infection.

What’s confusing to many parents and caregivers who haven’t dealt with lice previously is that lice prefer clean scalps and hair. A child with lice isn’t dirty, they are clean.

By far my nanny friends and the parents they work for recommend using Fairy Tales natural products to prevent kids from getting lice and for treating lice. Here’s our review:
