You can have
head lice without knowing it, as there are
often no symptoms. This means it
can take weeks or even months before you
realize
that you or someone in your family
has head lice.
But you may
occasionally notice some of the following
symptoms:
|
|
 |
Head lice what is it?
Head lice are small insects that live mainly on your scalp and hair.
They are about the size of a sesame seed. They have six legs and can hold on to your hair. |
|
Anyone can get head lice, their presence does not
mean you are not clean.
Lice and their eggs
do not burrow into your scalp. |
|
How do you get it?
Head lice are passed by head-to-head contact
with someone who has head lice. Contact is common
during play, while riding the school bus, and during
classroom activities where children sit in groups
close to each other. |
|
 
*More Info:
What Are Lice?
 |
How
many are there?
Generally, a person has fewer than a
dozen active lice on their head, but may have
hundreds of eggs, they are usually near the scalp, where the
eggs are laid for warmth and moisture. |
|
 |
|
What about the eggs?
A louse hatches from its
egg after 8 days, it begins to feed, grow and
develop until it becomes an adult in 9-12 days after hatching. A female louse
can lay about 100 eggs at a rate of about 6 eggs
each
day. |
|
*More Info:
How do I know if my child has head lice?
|
|
 |
|
What do they eat?
Head lice
live by blood-feeding once or more often each day,
and cannot survive for more than a day or so at room
temperature without ready access to a person’s
blood.
Head lice cannot live on your dog, cat, or
other pets, they can only survive on humans. |
|
My head itches,
why?
Some people get an itchy
scalp when they have head lice. It's the
louse's saliva that cause itching. Head lice inject
saliva into your blood as they feed. Because the saliva is foreign to your
body, your immune system responds by
releasing chemicals into your bloodstream to
attack the saliva and get rid of it.
|
|
*More Info:
What Should I Do If My Child Has Lice?
|
Are they in my house?
They
may remain in beds or furniture for a brief
period. All bedding, nightclothes and towels should be
washed in hot water and dried in a hot
dryer.
Combs, brushes, and other hair accessories should be washed
in hot water after each use. |
|
What if I cannot wash certain items?
Seal all non-washable items (clothing, coats, hats, stuffed
animals, comforters, etc.) in a plastic bag for 2
weeks.
They cannot fly or
jump. |
|
 |
|
*More Info:
How Do I Keep Lice From Coming Back?
|
Are they in my
car?
Head lice and their eggs die if separated from their
human host, they can only survive a day or so, and
the eggs generally dry up and die within a week. The
chances of a live head louse or egg becoming
reunited with a person is most likely not possible.
Therefore steps to clean lice from the car by
intensive washing or vacuuming will result in a
cleaner car, but will not help you reach the goal of
eliminating the lice from those living in the home.
A child’s car seat cover will benefit from
vacuuming, as a few stray lice or eggs may be there
temporarily and survive for a day or so.

Myths, Misconceptions and Truths about Lice
|
What do I use to get rid of lice?
Your child's doctor or school nurse can recommend a
medicated shampoo, cream, or lotion to kill the
lice. If the person you are treating has
really long hair you may need to use a second
bottle. |
|
Who should be treated in our home?
Only those with live lice or viable eggs should be treated.
Each person (adults and children) within the home
should be inspected to determine if live lice are
present. All those found to be infested should be
treated at the same time. |
|
How do I know they are gone?
After treatment, check, comb, and remove nits and
lice from the hair every 2-3 days. Re-treat in 7-10
days if necessary. Check all treated persons
for 2-3 weeks until you are sure all lice and nits
are gone. |
|
*More Info:
Lice Information Resources
|
|
Remove nits and lice
from the hair shaft
using a nit
comb,
often found in lice-killing medicine packages.
Flea combs used for cats and dogs can also be used.
|
Am I in danger if someone is swimming in the same
pool as me and they have head lice?
Any lice or nits that
might wash off in a swimming pool would likely be
removed by the pool filter or will otherwise die
before they have a chance to contact a person. There
is no need to close a swimming pool because of head
lice. |
|
|
Lice are also unlikely to wander far from their
preferred home (your head)
|
 Nits:
Nits are head lice eggs. They are hard
to see and are often mistaken for
dandruff or droplets of hairspray. Nits
are found firmly attached to the hair
shaft. They are oval and usually yellow
to white. Nits take about 1 week to
hatch. |
Nymphs:
Nits hatch into nymphs.
Nymphs are immature adult head lice.
Nymphs mature into adults about 7 days
after hatching. To live, nymphs must
feed on blood. |
Adults:
An adult louse is about
the size of a sesame seed, has six legs,
and is tan to greyish- white. In persons
with dark hair, adult lice will look
darker. Adult lice can live up to 30
days on a person's head. To live, adult
lice need to feed on blood. If a louse
falls off a person, it dies within 2
days. |
