Understanding Lice
How Do You Get Lice?
Head lice are tiny wingless insects. They live among human hairs and feed on blood from the scalp. They cannot fly or jump, but they can crawl quickly at a rate of 9 inches per minute. An adult louse is very tiny: about the size of a sesame seed. Females are larger and can lay up to eight eggs (nits) every day. Nits hatch within 6-9 days. These “nymphs” take another 8-9 days to grow to maturity and begin reproducing again. Lice and nits are usually located on the back of the head near the neckline or behind the ears. They may also be in the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can live up to 30 days on the head, but only 1-2 days if removed from the host.
Head lice are transmitted from one person to another through direct head-to-head contact. Activities like hugging, sleeping in the same bed, or sharing brush, comb, backpack, or clothes from someone infected with lice can transfer them as well. Pets don’t get human lice or vice versa because lice are species-specific. Contrary to some opinions, getting lice is not the result of a lack of hygiene or a dirty environment. Lice need blood to survive, and they don’t care if it’s from a clean or dirty head. Lice do not transmit disease either, though the itching they cause can lead to head-scratching, which can sometimes cause infections.
