A calmer next step
What to do when you suspect head lice
- Check carefully. Use bright light and a fine-tooth lice comb, paying attention behind the ears and near the nape of the neck.
- Check close contacts. Examine household members and people who share a bed.
- Choose an appropriate treatment. Follow the label or a healthcare professional’s instructions; ask a clinician before treating a young child.
- Recheck on schedule. Some treatments require a second application. Continue checking and combing as directed.
- Keep cleaning proportionate. Focus on recently used bedding, clothing, brushes, and the places where the affected person rested. Avoid pesticide fogs.
