4. Don't wear anyone else's hats, coats, scarves, or gloves. (Sorta good-news is that lice die after being off someone's head for 24 hours. To be safe though, just steer clear of using anyone else's winter gear.)

It's also helpful to check your head and others in your family a week after the gathering for any signs of lice. Catching it early can make the whole process of getting rid of it much easier.
