They are back again .
Head liceare tiny wingless insects that are grey-brown in colour. They are the size of apinhead when theyhatch and 2-4mm long (the size of a sesame seed) when fully grown. They cannot fly, jump or swim, but spread by
clambering from head to head. It takes about 30 seconds for a louse to transfer from one scalp to another. Head licefeed by biting and sucking blood through your scalp. They take six to 14 days to become fully grown, after which
they are capable of reproducing. The female louse lays eggs in sacs - called nits - which are very small, dull in
colour, and well camouflaged. Nits are securely glued to hairs, where the warmth of the scalp will hatch them out in
seven to 10 days. Empty sacs are white and shiny and may be found further along the hair shaft as the hair grows
out. Who is affected?
Anyone with hair can catch head lice, but children who have head-to-head contact, either at school orduring play, are most commonly affected. Head lice are not fussy about hair length or condition (whether
it is dirty or clean).Head lice affect only humans, and cannot be passed on to, or caught from, animals.
