Preventive measures

Prevention of pediculosis is the use of comprehensive measures to combat the spread of the disease. The first thing that needs to be done to identify infected children or adults is to carefully examine the scalp. When parasites are detected, it is necessary to immediately begin treatment in accordance with the resolution of the chief sanitary doctor of the Russian Federation. After recovery do not forget about lice prevention.

Contact persons are also examined and in the absence of parasites are registered for 1 month with mandatory inspections every ten days.

Upon detection of pubic lice infected, sent to the dermatovenerologic dispensary, located on the territory of their residence.

To prevent the uncontrolled spread of parasites, certain hygienic measures are taken. These measures contain insect contamination of the surrounding area and include:

• compulsory and regular body wash;
• change of linen and bed every 7-10 days;
• haircut
• use in the care of hair only his personal comb;

In the century of tremendous speeds, sensational discoveries in medicine, it is very disappointing to realize that the problem of pediculosis is still relevant in schools, kindergartens, hospitals, emigration centers. To achieve success in the prevention of diseases caused by parasites, it is necessary to conduct mass informational events in preschool, school and vocational schools.

I constantly check the child’s head, taught him to use only my personal comb, and not to transfer it to anyone and not to take it from other children. So far, with such a problem as lice is not faced

Catherine, Orel

It is necessary to tell the younger generation about the danger that lies in such seemingly small and harmless insects, how lice are transmitted. Print thematic brochures, information sheets,conduct preventive training events that clearly show how lice look and how they can and should be fought. Only such a broad offensive in all directions will give a positive and quick result in the fight against this disease, which has come to us since the beginning of the twentieth century and still haunts the twenty-first.
