Head Lice: The Itchy Little Secret of Summer Camp
So your child comes home from camp with a fresh suntan, a new rash of freckles on their nose, and an itchy scalp. Mosquito bites? Maybe not. It could be head lice. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do ahead of time to prevent head lice at summer camp.
While you are packing the sunscreen and the bug spray, toss in a head lice prevention fabric spray for the bunks. Show your child how to use it on their bunk, bedding and pillows. It’s also a good idea to spray their baseball caps, helmets and caps. And always remind them not to share their personal gear with other campers.
