Head lice is a common condition that affects children and can be transmitted to adults through direct contact. Head lice are tiny insects that tend to feed on the blood of the human scalp. Lice can pass from one scalp to another when a child gets close enough to another child, that their hairs touch.
Causes and symptoms of head lice:
Head lice isn’t a sign of poor hygiene, but can easily be transferred to a person who is clean and takes good care of their health. Here are the symptoms of head lice:
- Itching of the scalp, neck, and ears.
- Lice are evident on the scalp.
- Nits (lice eggs) are small and white and can be seen on the hair strands.
Prevention and treatment of head lice:
- If your child is affected by head lice, it is essential to use one of the below treatments to help combat and get rid of the hair lice and nits as soon as possible. Because head lice tend to lay a lot of eggs, time is of the essence to avoid lice infestation.
- It is also best to inform your child’s nursery or school as head lice are highly contagious and send out a warning that children in contact with your child could be at risk of a lice infestation, too.
- Use a narrow comb to help remove the dead lice and nits from your child’s hair after using the treatment.
