It's time for kids to checkout from the house for a sleep-over camp. Helping them prepare for a blissful summer takes a lot of care and preparation. These days, planning also means ensuring that children are ready if they come across some of the Summer's nastiest pests… head lice. Cautious parents should inquire the camp directors if they are well-prepared in case one or more campers or staff are discovered to have a lice infestation. They should ask what precautions the campground is taking to stay away from a lice infestation and, if required, what they will do for lice treatment. Will the camp arrange for safe and effective lice treatment?

If one camper or staff member finds that these pesky tiny pests are on his or her head, the likelihood is, in a compact camp environment, that other campers will also be infested. So, a camp director should know how to find professional lice treatment as soon as possible because if lice are left untouched in the hair, they can lay thousands of nits (eggs) in the hair. And the more nits are laid, the more severe and common a lice infestation will become. Even though a lice infestation is not dangerous, it can ruin a well-planned summer for both the campers and the camp.

How to Find Lice Treatment that Works

It's difficult to resist close proximity if you are sharing accommodations such as camping tents or cabins. Close quarters are exactly what lice enjoy. Lice like it when close contact offers them the chance to travel from one nice clean head to another- crawling from one head, pillow, sleeping bag, baseball helmet or towel to another. Camps should notify you that they are prepared to arrange for emergency lice treatment should that kind of exposure to head lice result in a lice infestation together with its campers and employees.

Choices for Conducting Treatment and Prevention

To attack a lice infestation, camp administrators do not typically perform lice treatment. They will either send a camper back home or arrange for a professional technician to deal with the problem. Today, a lot of camp administrators have discovered that prevention is critical. Several camps arrange for lice checks on the first day and make contracts for emergency lice treatment services throughout the camp season if necessary. They also instruct parents to be hands-on in lice prevention, recommending they send kids to camp with lice prevention and treatment products such as Jolis Cheveux by LTC™ and LTC's new Lice Insurance™ Kit. These all natural, non-toxic products are available online and in specialized pharmacies and salons. Jolis Cheveux by LTC™ shampoo, conditioner, and olive oil lice treatment are the same products used by LTC's experts.
