How do you get head lice?
Head lice are typically spread through direct head-to-head contact with someone who already has lice. This can occur during activities such as playing together, hugging, or sharing personal items like hats, brushes, or towels. It's important to note that head lice do not jump or fly, and they cannot survive for long away from a human host.
What are the symptoms of head lice?
Common signs of head lice infestation include:
- Intense itching of the scalp
- A tickling sensation on the head
- Visible lice or nits (eggs) in the hair, particularly around the ears and nape of the neck
- Small red bumps on the scalp, neck, and shoulders
- Difficulty sleeping due to increased lice activity at night
If you notice these symptoms, it may be time to consider a head lice treatment.
How is head lice treated?
Head lice treatment typically involves using specialised products to eliminate both lice and their eggs.
This may include:
- Medicated shampoos or lotions containing insecticides
- Wet combing with a fine-toothed lice comb to remove lice and nits
- Treatment sprays to help loosen nits for easier removal
It's essential to follow the instructions on the product label carefully and often repeat the nit treatment after 7-9 days to ensure all lice and newly hatched nits are addressed.
Can head lice be prevented?
While it's challenging to completely prevent head lice, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk:
- Avoid head-to-head contact during play and other activities
- Do not share personal items such as hats, scarves, combs, or hair accessories
- Regularly inspect family members' heads, especially after sleepovers or camp
- Teach children about the importance of not sharing personal items
Early detection and prompt treatment are key to managing head lice infestations effectively.
