Head Lice
Detection and Treatment
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.
