Manage episode 485912494 series 3551630
In this episode we tackle the itchy, awkward, and all-too-common world of head lice. Your pharmacist co-hosts break down exactly what lice are, how they spread, and why they have nothing to do with cleanliness. You’ll learn how to spot the tell-tale nits, which over-the-counter and prescription treatments really work (and which home remedies are just hype), plus practical tips on laundering, combing, and preventing reinfestation. We’ll also bust stubborn myths—no, lice don’t jump, and pets won’t give them to you—and share advice on talking to schools and loved ones without the drama. By the end, you’ll have the confidence and know-how to win the itch war once and for all.
