Kids Pick Up the Darndest Things at Summer Camp
What will your child pick up at summer camp this year? If you’re like a lot of parents, you might expect him to learn some new skills, maybe improve his swimming stroke, or learn how to cook over an open fire. Unfortunately, your little campers might also pick up head lice. It’s a common occurrence at summer camps, although most camps certainly don’t advertise that fact.
Help your child prevent a head lice infestation at summer camp with these tips:
- Don’t share personal items like towels, pillows, caps, brushes and combs.
- Shower and wash your hair often, using a natural lice prevention shampoo.
- Use a head lice prevention fabric spray on summer camp items like baseball caps, helmets and pillows.
