Head lice are a common problem that can affect anyone, regardless of cleanliness. These tiny insects spread by crawling from one person’s hair to another’s, typically through close contact with family members or classmates. It’s important to address head lice promptly to prevent them from spreading and to relieve any discomfort.
Recognising Head Lice:
- Itchy Scalp: One of the most common signs of head lice is itching. However, not all children will experience itching.
- Scratch Marks or Rash: Scratching or visible marks on the scalp can indicate an infestation.
- Live Lice or Eggs (Nits): Finding live lice or eggs on the scalp is a clear sign of an infestation.
If you suspect someone in your family has head lice, it’s essential to treat the affected person and check everyone else in the household.
