Head lice protection

Lice alert! Lice alert!

When it comes to head lice prevention, it’s important to check the hair for head lice and nits regularly as a precaution, and every day if you know of a head lice outbreak.

Paranix’s protection range allows you to protect your child and family and help prevent a head lice infestation during lice outbreaks (e.g. at school or during summer camp).

Paranix Protection Spray: clinically proven to provide safe and effective protection against head lice.

Paranix Protection Shampoo: can be used in place of your regular shampoo. It washes the hair and protects against lice.

Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact. But did you know that they can also be spread by sharing clothing or belongings – such as a hat or scarf – onto which head lice have crawled? Luckily the risk of getting infested by a head louse that has fallen on the carpet or ground is very small.

Some additional tips to help protect your family and prevent the spread of head lice:

• Ask your children not to share clothing such as scarves or caps with friends.
• Tie up or braid long hair.
• Wear a swimming cap in the swimming pool.
• Disinfect the area and wash bedding and personal items (scarves, caps…) at 60°C.
• Vacuum the house and car, and then throw away the bag.
