Many families have experienced or know someone who has experienced head lice in Texas and in other states. You may hear people say in amazement that they can't believe how prevalent the incidence is.

Teens may be especially sensitive about having lice. In general, the group that dislikes getting lice the most is definitely teenagers. Young children often feel no stigma and some may not even feel itchy. Teens, on the other hand, have their hands full dealing with every day social issues.

We know the positives of family and friend get-togethers to celebrate the holidays. How fun it can be for little cousins to play with each other and for multiple generations to be in one room. Of course, in our honest moments, we may acknowledge that we are not so crazy about loud Uncle Bill or clingy cousin Michelle.
