Welcome to blitzlice.com. Here you will find brief information about head lice.

Head Lice are small blood-sucking, wingless insects found on the human scalp. They are six legged creatures with claws, which help them cling to and crawl through human hair. They live by feeding off a human host, piercing the scalp with their mouthpart to draw out the blood. Their survival needs necessitate spending their whole life cycle on a human host.

Head lice are most commonly found in school children, with the most vulnerable age being 4-11 years old. They do not discriminate between rich or poor neither do they have any preference towards dirty or clean hair. For more information on head lice click here.

A fully grown adult louse is only 3mm in size so they are very difficult to detect. A child can sometimes have lice for over 8 weeks before itching starts.
