Abstract
Head lice cause much distress and worry in families with school-aged children. There are many available treatment options. Many of these options are costly and may not be effective. This report will review both traditional and non-traditional options available in the treatment of head lice. Education that can help with prevention of the spread of head lice is essential. The practitioner must be empathetic and supportive with patients that present or call for assistance in treating this annoying problem. 'While validating parental concerns, it is equally important to reassure that head lice, while annoying, are not a cause of any major health problems.
