Portland, OR – July 21, 2022 – 6 million to 12 million children in the United States need head lice removal each year, as per the figures reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And with schools reopening and surge in socializing, the problem is rising at an alarming rate of late – so much so, that a leading lice removal clinic has seen a 50% surge in head lice activity in one month. Worried, the Portland-based clinic, Lice Charmers, has recently issued warning to parents stressing on the sudden rise in head lice activities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), head lice are a common problem among school-age children. And while lice are not known to transmit disease, they can be a nuisance. Worse, head lice can be difficult to spot, and often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
James, the founder of Lice Charmers, shared that when looking for signs of lice, it can be easy to miss the signs and symptoms if one doesn’t know what s/he is looking for. Head lice can easily spread from person to person through simple contact in home or school.
“We saw an increase in head lice activity this month because demand for lice removal at our lice clinic increased by 50%. This is likely due to the fact that the increased socializing leading to an increase in head lice activity in the Beaverton, Tualatin, Tigard, Clackamas, and Lake Oswego areas. Parents should check their children for head lice and seek treatment if necessary. Our lice clinic offers effective lice treatment that can get rid of head lice quickly”, stated James
A renowned name among the lice clinics in the State, Lice Charmers offer a variety of lice elimination services to help get rid of head lice. They have a clinic where they offer manual lice removal service. For more advanced care, they extend lice treatment with chemicals at their specialized treatment center. They also provide a head lice prevention service, which helps keep lice from coming back.
In addition to the treatments, Lice Charmers offer lice removal products like Conditioning Shampoo and Lice Comb Kit. A louse comb has a fine-toothed surface that helps remove nits from hair strands while the conditioning shampoo with oil works to kill off any live eggs or nits on the scalp as well as any live adult bugs on scalp or hair strands.
What should parents do if they suspect their child has head lice? James emphasized that parents must keep a close check on their child’s hair to spot head lice before it’s too late. And if they are able to detect lice, they should waste no time to seek treatment. One way that one can prevent getting lice is by keeping the hair up, especially when among many people. Parents must also advise their kids to not touch heads with anyone else.
“There are a few different ways to treat head lice, but the most common and effective method is to use a lice comb. If you are doing it on your own, it should be done every day for at least two weeks. You can also use over-the-counter treatments, but these can be harsh on the scalp and may not be as effective because of resistances lice have developed. If you have a severe case of head lice, you may need to see a head lice removal specialist like us and get the problem professionally treated by experts.”
