Head Lice Symptoms

Many infestations cause no head lice symptoms at all. Only thirty to fifty percent of people actually do itch, which is why it is so important to check for head lice regularly.

Is your child itching their head? Do you check your child's hair regularly?

In some cases the louse bite can create an itch on the scalp which can cause some irritation. Other head lice symptoms can be little red bumps or sores where the lice have bitten into the scalp for blood and in some extreme cases one can get a very irritable rash. Irritation levels can go from mild to the extreme which would depend on the individual and also on the extremity of the head lice infestation.

If a case of head lice is caught early one may find only a few head lice and eggs, left unattended the head lice life cycle can continue to create generations of head lice.

As head lice are highly contagious it is important to apply a treatment solution and thoroughly comb out all head lice and their eggs. Complete removal is necessary to stop the head lice life cycle.

Don’t wait for an infestation or even an outbreak in your school, look to protect your children from head lice. Be vigilant and check for head lice in your children’s hair regularly, once a week is ideal.

Using a prevention or repellent spray daily can ward off head lice, avoiding a potential infestation and saving you the hassle of a complete head lice treatment.
