What are head lice?
Head lice are small, wingless insects that live on the human scalp. They feed on blood and can cause itching, irritation, and scalp sores. Head lice are not dangerous, but they can be a nuisance.
How do you get head lice?
Head lice are spread through head-to-head contact. This can happen when you share hats, brushes, combs, or other personal items with someone who has head lice. Head lice can also be spread through contact with furniture, bedding, or other objects that have been infested with lice.

How do you know if you have head lice?
The most common symptom of head lice is itching. You may also see small, white eggs (nits) attached to the hair shafts. Nits are often mistaken for dandruff, but they are actually the eggs of head lice.
If you think you may have head lice, you should check your scalp for nits and lice. To do this, use a nit comb to comb through your hair from the roots to the tips. If you see any nits or lice, you have head lice.
How do you get rid of head lice?
There are a number of ways to get rid of head lice. The most common treatment is over-the-counter lice shampoo. These shampoos contain insecticides that kill lice and nits.
You can also use a prescription lice shampoo if over-the-counter shampoos are not effective. Prescription lice shampoos contain stronger insecticides that can kill lice and nits that are resistant to over-the-counter shampoos.
In addition to using lice shampoo, you should also comb your hair with a nit comb to remove any remaining nits. You should also wash all of your bedding and clothing in hot water to kill any lice or nits that may be present.
How can you prevent head lice?
There is no surefire way to prevent head lice, but there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of getting them. These include:
* Avoid head-to-head contact with people who have head lice. * Do not share hats, brushes, combs, or other personal items with anyone. * Wash your bedding and clothing in hot water regularly. * Vacuum your home regularly to remove any lice or nits that may be present.
If you have head lice, it is important to treat them promptly to prevent them from spreading to others. There are a number of effective treatments available, so you should be able to get rid of head lice quickly and easily.
