My children have head lice: can I catch them too?

There’s nothing funny about having head lice. Children are the most frequently affected. But adults can get them too. Nobody is immune. Fortunately, you can keep the risks to a minimum.

Avoid contact

Does your child have head lice? It happens. But it would be a shame to let everyone in the family become infested with these little creatures. We recommend that you avoid any form of hair-to-hair contact with your child.

Go for prevention

Avoiding hair-to-hair contact is easier said than done. After all, you live under the same roof. So what’s the alternative? Treat your hair with Elimax® Shampoo.

Elimax kills nits and head lice and keeps new infestations at bay. Available from your pharmacist.
