Found a Bug in Your Child’s Hair? Stay Calm
Discovering lice, ticks, or a stray insect in your child’s hair can be alarming—but most cases are manageable.
-
Head lice: tiny crawlers; check for nits behind ears, crown, and nape.
-
Ticks: attach to the scalp; remove carefully with tweezers.
-
Accidental visitors: usually harmless.
Use wet combing for lice, repeat every few days. Stay calm—your child notices your reaction. Regular checks and careful removal are the keys to keeping your child safe and stress-free.
