Lice Lifters Education Program Prevention Is Key Icon

Prevention Strategies That Work

Prevention begins with routine checks and quick action. Teach families to do a simple weekly comb through under bright light, looking closely at the hairline, behind the ears and at the nape. Use a metal lice comb on damp, detangled hair. After sleepovers, camps, or sports, add a quick check. Keep hair pulled back during close play. Remind kids to avoid sharing hats, helmets, hair tools, towels, and pillows. Label personal items for school and sports. At home, wash pillowcases and recently used towels in hot water and dry on high heat. Soak brushes and combs in hot soapy water for ten minutes. Vacuum high use fabric areas. Deep cleaning the whole house is not needed. If a case is confirmed, screen the household, treat those with evidence of lice, and book a follow up check. Our clinic provides gentle, non toxic treatment without heated air and shares clear return to class guidance. We also offer parent nights and printable resources to reinforce these habits across Charleston.

Summer Camp Lice Education Program

Summer camps thrive when health plans are clear and simple. Our camp education program equips directors and staff with steps to prevent, detect, and manage head lice calmly. Before arrival, we share parent letters and packing tips that explain what to check at home. On opening day, our team can conduct on site screenings to catch cases early and limit cabin spread. We teach gentle technique for parting hair, using a lice comb, and recognizing nits versus dandruff. When a camper is positive, we outline a calm response plan, notify parents, and recommend treatment at our Mount Pleasant clinic. Most families complete care quickly and campers return to activities with confidence. We can also schedule mid session checks, braid stations for long hair, and brief staff refreshers. Materials include checklists, posters, and talking points for announcements.

Parent Education and School Support

Our education program extends beyond the classroom. We host parent nights in person or online to explain how to spot lice early and what to do next. Families learn the difference between dandruff and nits, how to use a metal comb, and how to perform a weekly home check. We also share simple cleaning guidance that saves time and avoids overdoing laundry or harsh chemicals. When a case is confirmed, our Mt Pleasant clinic performs thorough head checks and delivers gentle, non toxic care that is 99.9 percent effective without heated air. One treatment and done is our goal, backed by a 30 day guarantee when every household member is checked and treated. We provide school return notes and prevention plans for teams, camps, and clubs. Parents receive printable guides and reminder emails to share. For scheduling, call our clinic at 1256 Ben Sawyer Blvd A, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.
