Lice Happens: It Is Easier To Treat Than You May Think

Lice Are A Common Problem That You Can Treat Successfully

No parent wants to learn that their child has caught a lice infestation. These tiny, parasitic insects that love to feed off the blood under our scalp are the bane of parents everywhere. Children are particularly prone to catching them, and there are approximately 6 to 12 millions outbreaks a year in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The first thing you should do is thoroughly disabuse yourself of any myths regarding head lice, then head to your nearest head lice treatment clinic.

Head Lice Myths And Misconceptions

  • Your Child Will Get Ill From Lice Perhaps the only saving grace of these little parasitic pests is that they are not known to transmit disease. They can cause significant enough itching that your child might scratch enough to cause open sores, but that’s about the worst of it.
  • Lice Only Like Kids With Poor Hygiene If your kids have head lice, don’t beat yourself up over this one because it’s totally false. Lice may actually prefer a clean head since grease or dirt can make it harder for them to get around.
  • You’ll Know You Have Lice Because Your Head Will Itch While many people with head lice have the symptom of an itchy head, many do not develop this particular symptom. It can also be the case that this symptom can take a while to develop. The itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva of lice when they bite into your scalp to feed on the blood underneath. If you’re not allergic, you won’t develop this symptom.
  • Lice Can Jump From One Child to Another You’ll be relieved to know that lice can’t jump or fly. This leaves only crawling from an infested child’s head to that of another child to spread. There’s a chance they can also be picked up from a hat, comb, hairbrush or other items worn or used on the head, but this is much less common.

Can I Prevent Head Lice?

There are steps you can try to prevent lice. Since the primary way they spread is by crawling from one kid’s head to another, the best advice is to tell your kids to minimize head-to-head contact. One way to do this is by tying up or back the hair of any children with long hair to reduce the chances of the hair coming into contact with that of another child.

Similarly, tell your kids not to share certain items with others. These items include hats, helmets, combs, hairbrushes and towels or pillowcases. Lice cannot live for long once they are not on a human scalp since they need the warm, moist environment and because it’s their feeding ground. Still, they’ll last up to two days before dying, and this is long enough to potentially pick them up from something belonging to a person with a lice infestation.

What To Do If All The Prevention In The World Fails

If you want to avoid wasting time or money, don’t take a lot of the advice you’ll get on how to handle head lice. Instead, seek out professional head lice removal services in your area. There are lice shampoos on the shelf at your neighborhood drug store, but the insecticides used in these have been around so long that most lice have developed an immunity. There are also home remedies, but these are messy and often ineffective. There are, however, places you can bring your family that offer a professional lice treatment.

Lice lifters of Ocean County is amazing! I called them in a panic Tuesday evening and received a call back within 20 minutes to make an appointment for the next morning. Laura was so kind and patient as she answered all of my questions and treated my two young daughters and myself for lice. Hopefully, we will never have to be back, but would highly recommend!
Megan Kelly
I used lice lifters when my daughter got lice from school as many kids do. They were fantastic with helping us out and getting her all fixed up with their great service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs the help. It’s terrible to go through but they know what to do and fix it. Thank you 😊 I appreciate Laures help .She was just amazing 🤩 💯🙏🙌
Jenn Marione
As a mother of 4 i knew coming into contact with lice was a possibility thru public schools. My nightmare came to a reality this past week. I was beyond relieved to find Lice Lifters and the second I called them Laura answered and was amazing from the start. She answered my questions and made me feel calm and assured it would be alright. I might have been in panic mode a little bit.
Laura got me in the very next morning and treated my whole family with such warmth and kindness. Truly a very caring and kind human being in general but she made every single member of my family finally feel ok and took her time with each and every one of us. I am beyond grateful to have found this amazing business and very thankful we where lucky enough to get Laura.
5 ☆ isn’t even enough for this establishment. Highly recommended from a mother of 4 with all long hair and a fear of lice. This place is a blessing.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! They are the most amazing people and are so good with my autistic daughter. My daughter had gotten lice back in june and I was so traumatized by it that I get paranoid now when I see anything white in my daughters hair or mine so I’ve been to lice lifters like 3 times for a head check and they have never made me feel crazy or judge me for it. I went today for a head check cause my daughter had alot of white spots in her hair. She has bad dry scalp and so do I but I was using head and shoulders for 2 weeks on us and it wasnt getting better so I got worried. But they were so awesome about it and she told me cause our hair is so dark that the dandruff just shows alot more. They made me feel so much better and at ease now. I also use there detangler spray and it looks like it’s working so I’ll stick with that from now on and I’ll always know where to go if I feel worried that its lice again. Thank you so much again lice lifters! I will always reccomend anyone who needs help with a lice situation to go there!

I brought my daughter here out of desperation after having treated and combed her at home (many combing sessions!) but still finding a few nits in her hair after a couple of days. She needed to be able to go back to school. Laura was wonderful!! She explained the process and checked both my daughter’s and my heads. She was very kind and clearly had so much experience doing this. She found nothing lice related which was such a relief. To get the all clear from a professional gave me so much peace of mind. I bought a bottle of their treatment too, just in case we need it sometime down the road. I love that it doesn’t have all of the harsh chemicals. Going forward I will always recommend heading straight to a lice clinic rather than trying to deal with all of it on your own. It’s worth every penny. Thanks again Laura!!!
Nikki Grato
I called lice lifters of Tom’s river in a complete panic. Rebecca was a life saver!! She was able to confirm that it was in fact lice. She worked on trying to get me into the facility as soon as she could. She was extremely responsive and available to answer all of my questions before and after our appointment (and there were a lot of them ). She never made me feel crazy for all my questions and concerns. When we got to the location Laura took care of us. She was awesome as well! She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained to me about lice and how to handle the situation. She was excellent with my 2 young children. She checked all of us, treated us and sent us home with all the information we needed to clean at home and treat our hair. She truly made me understand lice, the transmission and how to go about successfully getting rid of it. Thank you Rebecca and Laura for being so helpful and caring to this stressed out mom !!!!
Brittany Sudah
My family was exposed to someone with lice, so naturally we were freaked out and wanted to be checked. Not only did they fit us in quickly on a Sunday, but Lisa was thorough, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Luckily we didn’t have it and hope we never do, but if so, we won’t hesitate to contact Lice Lifters in Toms River.

I brought my daughter here super professional, very clean place would highly recommend 5 stars across the board

My daughter had lice. I took her to the pediatrician and was told she didn’t have it so we thought we were in the clear. But she kept itching and a week later I found a bug. :-( I tried the CVS brand — waste of money, did nothing. I felt so defeated. I decided to try Lice Lifters and it was worth every cent. They got rid of the lice that lasted weeks and they calmed me down and eased my anxiety. My peace of mind meant everything. I am SO GLAD we went. Thank you Lice Lifters,!!!!

Ann Marie Lusquinos
Last Wednesday I received the dreaded phone call from the school nurse telling me my six year old daughter had lice. I was completely overwhelmed never having dealt with it before. I knew I needed help. I called my pediatrician and she recommended Lice Lifters. I called from the school nurse’s office at 3:00 in a panic and Brooke answered the phone. She was so sweet and kind from her first words. She told me I could come right over and she would take care of her. The nightmare continued as it turned out that I also had lice. Brooke rearranged her own personal schedule to take care of me and my family. She worked with us from 4:00-8:00. She was kind, reassuring, gentle and made a nightmare situation comfortable. She educated me , explained how to clean my house and made me laugh numerous times. I am so thankful for Lice Lifters and Brooke and can’t thank her enough for all she did for me and my family last night. We left there lice free and able to return to school and work the next day!! Thank you!!
Matthew Presutti
We had the unfortunate news that we had a case of lice in the house. It was late in the afternoon, their office was closing and it appeared we weren’t going to get treated today. The office called us and said the owner will come in a couple of hours after closing time to treat my daughter and check our family. Terrific service! Thank you.
Angela Tamayo
Ugh LICE!! What was a traumatic and painful ordeal was less painful and less traumatic thanks to Lice Lifters. Brought my daughter in on 9/14/19 and Lisa took care of us and what a great job she did! She was so kind,and thoughtful and considerate of my daughter and her needs! I also purchased the family kit for the rest of my family and that was a life saver! Lisa took the time to educate us about all things lice! I would recommend Lice Lifters to everyone who needs a treatment! THANK YOU LICE LIFTERS!!!

christina mitchell
I totally panicked when the school called saying my daughter had lice. I went to buy over the counter treatment and I am so glad I went to Lice Lifters instead! Tracy was amazing! She was so calm, and was explaining everything to us. She is great! I am so glad I went because it turns out my daughter didnt even have any lice! what a relief! and what a Life Saver, Life Liters and Tracy are!!
Michelle Block
PRAISE LICE LIFTERS!!!
Of course when I got the call from the school nurse, every pore on my back popped out a bead of sweat and my scalp was just itchy all over. In a panic, I called and was assured that my son could be seen right away. Upon entering the facility, all worries dissolve. I was reassured that I WASN’T a nasty-stank-nasty mom and these things happen more often than one thinks! There were plenty of books on all reading levels, so that the children can fully understand what’s happening to them and to not feel bad for it in ANY kind of way. The staff was BEYOND THOROUGH with my son’s hair. We were, offered snacks, refreshments, Netflix and my son was just as happy as a clam, playing his hand held game as she worked on my son’s hair.
Being a woman of color, I thought MY coif was going to be a challenge, but they were gentle and BEYOND THOROUGH. This lady knows hair and her subject matter VERY WELL. She was a wellspring of knowledge and advice when it came to getting your home up to snuff to confirm these uninvited guests are no longer habituating in your domain.
Post-treatment instructions were simple to follow and you get plenty of product.
Needless to say, not only are we lice free, but I was able to get a full refund through my health insurance.
Heather Gulden
Great experience with Lisa. I was completely overwhelmed and upset when I found out my 6 year old had lice. She showed me the nits and we learned about the life cycle how to prevent them and what to do and put me and her completely at ease after an unbearable weekend. I found this place online and I highly recommend her. Im so grateful they are here! My daughters smile was worth every cent.
Gisele Aviles
Great place.
