🎃 “The Itchy Season Is Here!” — Head Lice Don’t Take a Halloween Break
October is a month of pumpkins, costumes, and... creepy crawlers. But before you panic, we’re not talking about the ones in haunted houses! Every fall, as kids head back to school and share hats, costumes, or selfies with friends, another sneaky visitor tends to show up: head lice.
👻 Why Fall Is “Lice Season”?
Just like Halloween candy, head lice love to make an appearance when kids are in close quarters, classrooms, after-school activities, and sports practices. October is the perfect storm for lice: cooler weather means more hoodies and hats, and Halloween brings all the fun costume wig swaps and group selfies.
Lice don’t jump or fly, but they crawl from one head to another faster than you can say “trick or treat.”
🕸️ Spooky Facts About Head Lice
Each female louse lays up to 8 eggs a day; now that’s a scary story!
Lice prefer clean hair (so no, they’re not a sign of poor hygiene).
They can’t live longer than 72 hours off a human head, so your home isn’t haunted, even if you’ve spotted one.
They’re masters of disguise; their tiny bodies blend right into hair strands, which is why they’re so hard to spot.
🦇 Costume Tips to Avoid a Lice Fright
Avoid sharing wigs, hats, and costume accessories.
Spray prevention products like Nit Picky® Lice Repel Spray before parties or school events.
Do a “lice check” after Halloween festivities; it’s the best kind of treat for your family’s peace of mind.
Keep long hair tied back or braided when your little ghosts and goblins are around other kids.
