Downloadable Social Media Asset for outreach use with suggested post text.
Back-to-school season means children are spending more time in close contact with classmates and friends, which can increase the risk of head lice transmission. Head lice are common, with an estimated 6 to 12 million cases each year in the U.S. among children aged 3 to 11.
Head lice are spread by head-to-head contact between people; they do not live outdoors or on pets. Head lice are not a reflection of cleanliness or hygiene. Knowing the signs and checking your child's hair regularly can help to detect and treat infestations early.
