Lice boom in schools and kindergartens has been registered in the capital, and a similar problem already exists in Plovdiv. This was announced by the Chief He alth Inspector, Dr. Angel Kunchev.

According to him, it is possible that the increased parasitism is due to the warmer weather. The specialist informs that in different years certain types of arthropods are more, which shows that 2016 is the year of lice, since high parasitism already was also registered in Plovdiv, reports Darik

The measure that is recommended to parents, in case their children are infected, is treatment with certain preparations, informs Dr. Angel Kunchev. However, people should know that a simple washing with detergent will not drive the lice out.

“We received signals from schools, kindergartens, from parents. I ordered an inspection for Sofia and it turned out that the number of infected children was not small. As a measure I recommend are the treatments that should be done by the parents. There are enough preparations to be used. Also, an entry filter should be organized to make sure we don't let in infected children, he pointed out.

It is not possible to say with certainty what is the reason for the higher parasitemia, but it is possible that the warm weather also contributed to it, the specialist added.

“There are years when certain types of arthropods are more. One year it's mosquitoes, another it's ticks, apparently this year is the year of lice, because today I received information that not only in Sofia, but also in Plovdiv there is a similar problem. We will help parents cope. But they should know that things cannot happen with just one washing with a detergent, more patience and attention is required, cleaning the live nits, because they sometimes remain after the treatment. Parents should deal with the matter more seriously, said Dr. Kanchev.
