Lice can survive underwater for up to 6 hours -- and according to the CDC, the chlorine levels found in pool water do not kill the bugs. How to protect your child from an infestation:
Lice don't survive long on bedding, but it's best to wash the sheets of anyone being treated for lice in hot water. The same goes for clothing worn in the past 48 hours.
While parents are sometimes told to clean and quarantine all of a child's stuffed animals, experts say this isn’t necessary. If your child sleeps with a favorite plush toy, pop it in the hot dryer for 20 minutes or seal it in a plastic bag for 2 weeks. That should kill any creepy-crawlies.
