You have noticed that your child is scratching his head fairly often?  Perhaps you heard through the grape vine that some of the kids at school have come home with head lice. Now is the time to take action.  You don’t want those tiny insects anywhere near you or your furniture looking for their next meal.  There’s an old saying that itchy heads in childhood are lice until proven otherwise, so learn more about what the little insects look like, and be prepared to treat if you find any evidence that lice have come home to your house.
