When faced with the risk of head lice, most parents and families turn to the trusty nit comb to search for, identify and fish out nits and lice. These combs are fine-toothed, small and easy to use – simply scrape through each section of the hair thoroughly and deposit whatever is found on a tissue.
One of the most important things for parents to know when their children come home with head lice (AKA nits) or when the school warns them about an infestation is all of the facts about what they shall be dealing with.
What are head lice and why do we get them? These are questions which are frequently asked, usually at the same time as people scratching their heads and suffering from head lice. Head lice are similar to other body lice but are very small and harder to spot. Head lice are transferred from person to person through direct head to head contact with someone who has head lice. The lice crawl and climb from one person’s head to another’s head and do not jump or fly. The lice then lay eggs which in turn hatch and produce eggs themselves. It is only a short cycle between eggs being produced and them hatching so any infestation needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

fear of head lice.
