SUMMARY:
\n– All it takes to have yourself a good and healthy lice colony in your head is just one little louse. Lice lay about 5\u201310 nits (or eggs) a day, which hatch in about 7 days.
\n– Head lice are most often transmitted from person to person directly, when you touch someone else\u2019s head with yours, or indirectly, when you share a hat or scarf with someone.
\n– It all starts with a nit that\u2019s simply too small and clingy to be seen and disposed of. The parent louse lays it right at the root of a hair.
\n– They can hold their breath for 8 hours, so if you take a shower or bath, they\u2019ll most certainly survive.
\n– By the way, there\u2019s a common misconception that people who don\u2019t wash their head regularly are more likely to get head lice. That\u2019s totally false.
\n– While their life span is about 30 days on your head, it\u2019s much smaller in your clothes: about 1\u20132 days at the most.
\n– If any one kid out of the group is already affected, the whole bunch of them will probably get the parasites too.
\n– The most effective treatments are those that simply suffocate the lice. There are different sprays, creams, and shampoos out there that block lice\u2019s airways, preventing them from breathing.
\n– Whenever you use any treatment to get rid of head lice, use a fine-toothed comb 8 to 12 hours later. Even if the parasites don\u2019t survive your attack, they won\u2019t come off your head by themselves. <\/p>\n
