Did Jolly Ol' St. Nit Give You The Gift Of Lice?!

JEFFERSON VALLEY, N.Y. - Jan. 4, 2017 - PRLog -- Spending time with family and friends, visitors from near and far, attending crowded events, cuddling by the fire, hugs, sharing new hats and scarves, sleep overs, huddling for pictures, and all the other wonderful things that make holiday time so special, also put us at risk for lice to spread their own holiday cheer. The Lice Chicks Inc., located in Jefferson Valley, warn: With the holidays now behind us, Ol' St. Nit may have you itching in these next weeks ahead.

Jennifer Kilduff, founder of The Lice Chicks, Inc. states "Post holidays we see a surge in head lice infestations due to the nature of the season. Therefore, parents must be proactive and check their children's hair regularly in the next weeks to catch an infestation at the onset."

CHECK for any lice(bugs) or nits (eggs) and watch for the following symptoms:  Itchy scalp, red rash at the nape of the neck, sleeplessness, bags under the eyes, swollen glands, low grade fever, and in severe cases, anemia.

IF FOUND, or if you are unsure, don't hesitate to contact a professional who knows what they're looking for and treats with all natural products. "Refraining from using any over-the-counter pesticide ridden products or prescriptions that are useless and harmful, is encouraged", Mrs. Kilduff adds. The Harvard School of Public Health and the Academy of Pediatrics recommend manual lice and nit removal with a professional lice comb as the most effective method of complete lice removal.

REMEMBER: Lice is second to colds in commonality among children so you are certainly not alone. Communicate to family and friends you have been in contact with in the last few weeks and get them checking for possible infestations. You must find your sources or the gift of lice will continue to give.
