“Back-to-school is like Christmas for head lice,” says Mark Meyer, owner of Lice Clinics of America® in Portland. “Like children waking up on Christmas morning and rushing to see what’s under the tree, lice can’t wait for kids to get together and start hugging and putting their heads together to pose for selfies.”

“We always see a big surge in lice infestations in September,” Mark Meyer said. “All it takes is for one child to return to school with head lice, and the lice infestations will spread to anyone that child’s hair comes into contact with.”

How to Prevent Infestations

The best way to prevent head lice infestations from spreading through a classroom, school or family is by checking children’s heads for lice before the first day of class. Mark Meyer recommends a professional head lice screening, as finding and identifying lice can be difficult. “Adult head lice are about the size of a sesame seed and generally stay within 1/4 inch of the scalp,” Mark Meyer said. “They’re easy to miss, especially the very tiny nymphs, which are the newborn lice. We always use a microscope in the clinic to assure we don’t miss anything.”

Lice Clinics of America in Portland offers professional head lice screenings. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind,” says Mark Meyer. The price is waived if the child has lice and receives a professional one-and-done treatment in the clinic. Even better, if your child doesn’t have head lice, the clinic offers lice prevention products or come in for a FREE HEAD LICE SCREENING during the month of September.

Prevention or Treatment?

Prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to head lice. Lice Clinics of America preventive sprays and shampoos are an excellent way to help keep children lice-free year-round. They have a scent that is pleasant to humans but obnoxious to lice. Keeping head lice away from your family is much better than having to treat an infestation.

“If we do find lice during the screening, there is no need to panic. You are already in the right place to get the fastest, safest, most effective treatment available. Lice Clinics of America in Portland is the exclusive provider of the one-and-done single treatment solution. This treatment takes about one hour and is guaranteed to be effective.
