MLS or Mom Lice Stress, is the syndrome that Moms get when their kids get lice.
Head Lice is much more stressful for Moms than Dads. Moms are stressed for several reasons.
1. Mom feels like she needs 10 extra hours a day to clean the whole house
2. Mom is being told to put pesticides on her kid’d head
3. Mom thinks she might have head lice, which totally freaks her out
Also Moms are not sure what is the best lice treatment and the safest lice treatment.
Sometimes Moms are blamed for bringing head lice into the school, which is false.
Head Lice is ubiquitous in the elementary school aged population.
