Lice can spread easily from one person to another through hair or even hats and coats that have been worn by infested individuals. They can also live for up to three months without feeding. As a result, lice are very common in schools, daycare centers, and other places where children come into close contact with one another. There are several ways to prevent head lice from spreading in your home or school.

A head lice infestation is when there are too many lice in one area to effectively get rid of. This can happen when a child has been infested and then comes in contact with other people, or when an infested person has been in close contact with many others. Lice can live for up to three weeks without needing to eat, so they can survive for a long time outside of their host. This is why it’s important to keep the same precautions in place until the lice have been eliminated.
There are a few things you can do to prevent lice infestations and make sure that they don’t come back again. Start by regularly washing your hair with a lice shampoo. This will help get rid of any lice present on your hair, and will make it harder for them to come back by making it harder for them to feed on your scalp. You can also use a lice comb to help you find any eggs or lice on your hair, which will make it easier to get rid of them. Make sure to check your hair and clothing often, and always comb through your hair and clothing when you come in contact with other people. If you see any lice, eggs, or nymphs (young lice), you should get rid of them as quickly as possible.
