Any child can suffer from lice infestation regardless of what their age
, gender, and race is. Parents don't have control if their child gets it from their schoolmate. Here are some facts to correct the misconceptions regarding lice infestations.
Keep in mind that even if head lice looks horrible, they are not infectious and they will not bring you different kinds of diseases.
The transfer of lice from one head to another is very fast. You can be sure that if your child touches the head of another child with head lice he or she will certainly have it too. Using the hairbrush or headgear of the one infected will also transfer it to your child. A slight bump with their heads could also be a cause of lice infestation, that's how fast it can move.
Another one of the head lice facts that are being misconstrued is stopping head lice. Parents can reduce the spread of head lice by using the head lice comb that can be found at all pharmacies. Medicated creams and shampoos can also be used as well. There are even natural home remedies you can choose from. All of these are useful in preventing the spread of head lice.
There are no exceptions when it comes to head lice infestations. Anyone can get the disease as long as the lice can reach him or her. Children are prone to getting it because they tend to share a lot of items like combs and headbands to their friends which adults rarely do. In reality no matter who you are, and where you're from, as long as you are in contact with someone infected then the lice will have no problem reaching you.
You had better watch out because these lice multiply very fast. Once the head louse is comfortable it will lay nits and these nits turn into nymphs which later turn into adults. That is how fast they will multiply so to avoid major infestation, treat your child's head lice right away.
These are just misconceptions on what people believe about lice infestations. Treating lice is easy because these facts are here to help you deal with it a lot easier.
