The Facts of Lice
Did you know?
- Head lice are not able to jump, fly or swim. Only adult females move from head to head and do so by hanging off the hair shaft part way down and extending their front claws to grab any sweeping hair strands. The male and nymph (baby) louse stay on the scalp to feed.
- Head lice are not signs of unwashed or unclean hair. They are totally indiscriminate - clean hair, greasy hair, unwashed hair - they aren’t fussy!
- Head lice do not live on pets and cannot live in your house (on the sofa, carpet, furniture, beds).
- Head lice are not like bed bugs - they don’t burrow and hibernate.
- Head lice need blood to survive, if they don’t get food, they perish within 48 hours.
- Head lice are not always detected by an itchy head. In fact, you only itch if you are allergic to their saliva when they bite!
- Lice eggs are transparent but their protective moist covering reflects the colour of nearby hair strands making them near impossible to see.
- Once hatched, the remaining white “nits” are empty eggshells, which will be visible in darker hair.
- Eggs and nits can only be removed by sliding them down the hair shaft and off (using a comb or tweezers). They cannot be dissolved in any way, because they are made of a similar protein to the hair (Keratin). Chemicals which destroy the egg would also damage the hair.
I know from personal experience how stressful head lice and nits are. However, head lice are not a sign of neglect or poor hygiene.
I found chemical treatments harsh & harmful. Natural treatments were ineffective. Understanding the life cycle of lice was key, to developing a treatment that works whilst remaining safe and easy to use. From one parent to another - NitNOT WORKS!
