I have to admit I thought the lice on animals was different from Humans, but maybe I am mis-informed.

Did you know it is not a good idea to use 2 in 1 shampoos.

you can buy sprays that protect your hair when there is an outbreak at school, but they tend to smell strange and make your hair look continually oily, so not too helpful and expensive.

I think the main thing is when infested, remember to treat the WHOLE family, and wash all linen in hot water, and vacuum your room, a lot of people donot do this and wonder why they keep getting them back.

Head lice is a yucky fact of life, which tends to affect young people, especially children, I myself have never contracted them off my kids. fingers crossed.

Mainly because children tend to share hats, and combs and of course in class are close together so spreading it is easy.
