ABOUT HEAD LICE
Head Lice vary in size according to their age. They may be between ½mm and 3mm long (from
the size of a printed full stop up to the size of a sesame seed). Head lice can be difficult to spot because
they can match their colour to that of the environment.
Lice live close to the scalp where they feed on blood and
this can cause the scalp to itch
Head lice cannot jump, fly or swim and can only be acquired
by direct head to head contact. This is
why lice are commonly found on the heads of children and those in close contact
with children and why it is important to check the heads of all the family
members when head lice are found.
Head lice only live on humans and have no preference for
clean or dirty hair
The female louse will lay between 3 and 5 eggs per day and
these hatch after 7 days. That is why it
is important to repeat this treatment after 7 days to ensure that any lice
which have hatched after the first treatment are killed.
Once the louse has hatched, the empty case (known as a nit)
will remain glued to the hair shaft.
Nits are completely harmless and can be
removed with the fingers or a fine toothed comb
