| | HEADLICE(And how to get rid of them!)Written by Linda Evans
WHAT ARE HEADLICE? Headlice are tiny parasites that live in human hair, feeding on blood from their host. They are a brown/red colour and have six legs with claws on them which they use to grip onto hair. WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? Experts believe they have always been with us. Dried eggs have, so they claim, been found on remains of ancient mummies. WHAT IS A NIT? The louse's egg, a smooth oval shape, slightly smaller than a seseme seed, attached to hair, close to scalp. HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE? The louse survives for 30 days and female lays 3-5 eggs per day. The eggs take 7-10 days to hatch and 7-10 days to mature, then cycle begins again. CAN PETS CATCH THEM? No. They can only survive on humans. HOW CAN HUMANS CATCH THEM? By direct contact, where they can crawl from one head to another. Also by sharing towels, brushes and hats, etc. DO LICE JUMP? Lice do not have hind legs to jump, nor do they have wings to fly. CAN'T I JUST WASH THEM OFF? No. Lice go into a state of suspended animation underwater, surviving this way. DO LICE ONLY LIKE DIRTY HAIR? It is believed that lice prefer clean hair, but that doesn't mean they don't like dirty hair - they like any hair. It is also not true that only poor, white people catch them. Lice are not fussy and will infest anybody! CAN I GET THEM FROM A PILLOW? Only if you lay where someone who's infested has recently laid. CAN THEY LIVE ON MY FURNITURE? Lice can only survive for 72 hours at most once they've left a human host. Most die within 24 hours. CAN I JUST USE A LOTION? There are countless numbers of lotions and potions on market. While they kill lice, they don't kill eggs. Most are chemically based and can aggrivate conditions such as asthma or allergies. You can pay dearly for your products, only to find a few days later that lice are back again.
