myths & facts about lice
who can get lice?
while children aged 3 to 11 years are most commonly affected by lice infestations, anyone in the family can get them. many adults ignore symptoms, thinking they are immune, but the truth is that lice can affect anyone. if you notice itchiness, it’s time to consider a professional lice screening.
can lice jump?
no, lice cannot jump or fly. they are fast walkers, but they spread through head-to-head contact or by sharing personal items like brushes, hats, or clothing with someone who has lice.
can head lice cause medical problems?
head lice themselves are not a disease or major health risk. however, scratching can cause injuries, which can lead to infections. in extreme cases, severe infestations can cause anemia, sleep disorders, and concentration problems, especially in children.
what hair type do lice prefer?
lice don’t care about hair length, cleanliness, or hygiene. they need only an inch of hair to stay close to the scalp to feed and lay eggs. lice infestations have nothing to do with how often someone washes or brushes their hair.
why do lice cause itchiness?
the itching isn’t from the lice bites themselves but from the saliva that lice inject into the scalp when feeding. this saliva causes the burning, itchy sensation.
can you get lice from animals?
while lice don’t live on pets, they can occasionally be carried by animals through brushes, clothing, or bedding. however, lice can’t live on dogs or cats and aren’t transmitted from animals to humans.
how to remove lice from the hair?
many OTC lice treatments are ineffective, especially chemical-based products from pharmacies. super-lice have evolved to become more resistant to these treatments. for complete lice and nit removal, it’s essential to seek professional help.
