Head Lice

Most families with ELC and school-aged children will suffer from head lice at some time, and many find they become victims of a running battle with head lice.   Clean hair is no protection against lice.

There are two treatment options.   One is to use insecticide lotion, and the other is removal by Bug Busting.   Both are available on prescription from your doctor and from nurse prescribers or over the counter at your local pharmacy.  Further information can be obtained at www.chc.org/bugbusting.

If you are aware your child has Head Lice please treat this as soon as possible.
