** LeLee who is from Virginia, MAILED me her receipt in time to use it here. That was so sweet, it still makes me smile every time I go by a Chipolte!

*** Last year they gave us exactly what was on the receipt! Guac and everything! LeLee had 3 burritos and that is what we got!

Everyone start itching their heads right now! I was going to post a picture of real lice but I am not that mean! Truth is, there was no way I was going to be able to type a post looking at it!

Because we are heading back to school, AND there is a $2 off RID coupon ( 90210 and look under Heath Care) I figured we could do a public service announcement and talk about preventing and what to do if you child gets lice.

Now, I have a few things to say about lice….

As a former hairstylist having worked in salons for a few years, lice is not that uncommon. It is also NOT a reflection of your parenting skills or personal hygiene. I have seen EVERY type of person from all walks of life get lice. If you have a child that interacts with other children they have a good chance of getting lice.

BUT, if your child has had it a few times or you can’t get rid of it, then you have a problem. I personally like to use homeopathic methods to treat things first. But, the exception that I make is with lice. I have NEVER seen them work well. Or completely get rid of the lice. The scary thing is that if it gets to the point where you have to use a prescription to get rid of them you put your kids in some real danger. The prescription medication is very toxic and can cause seizures and other problems with children.That is why it is important not to mess around and get rid of them as quickly as possible.

Part of getting rid of them is washing everything in the house with very hot water in the washing machine, bagging up all your stuffed animals and bedding, and keeping them bagged for a few weeks.

Also, once you do the first treatment, you have to do another at 7-10 days to kill anything that you missed that hatched in the past week (itching my head now!) or you start all over again and find lice in another month.

About 3 years ago my girls had lice, when I found the first one I started shaking and crying! Remember, I have totally seen this 100 times! I FREAKED OUT! My husband actually had to grab me by the shoulders and tell me to calm down I was scaring the kids! So, I pulled it together and must have spent 30 hours that week taking care of all the things I had to do to get rid of them. It was a nightmare! Anytime I know the kids have had any contact I go ahead and treat them to save myself the trouble.

Tea Tree Oil is a good way to help prevent head lice, you can use tea tree shampoo or mix the oil with your own shampoo. Tea tree oil makes the human scent and the lice will not want to transfer to your child. I also educate my kids and tell them not to share combs, brushes, hair clips, hats, and even jackets with other kids. 

What is your experience with lice? What have you found that works?
