Head
Lice Information:
- Lice(pediculosis)
are parasites that live in human
hair and scalps. It is a myth that
it implies poor hygiene.
- Lice
can be ” shared” by
direct contact. Head lice can survive
6-20 hours off its host. They do
not breed in furniture. Vacuuming
furniture should be sufficient
- An
itchy head should always be inspected.
- Nits are easily seen and appear
glued to the hair shaft. Mature
nymphs move very fast and can be
hard to detect. Ask a healthcare
provider if not sure.
|
- Over
the counter preparations usually
can treat the problem. Hot water
washing/drying of bed lined, towels
and pj’s is recommended. Soaking
hair care items in hot soapy water
for an hour or more should be done.
- Always
call the health office if you have
any questions. I would be happy
to help you !!
