Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do head lice look like?
A: Head lice are tiny, wingless insects about the size of a sesame seed when fully grown. Live eggs are a pearly-white colour, unhatched eggs are a brownish colour and empty egg cases are white.
Q: How long do head lice live for?
A: From the moment they hatch, head lice can live for up to about 40 days, 30 of which may be as an egg-laying adult.
Q: What do head lice do?
A: Head lice are parasites, and feed off blood from the human scalp.
Q: Are head lice dangerous?
A: No, head lice aren't dangerous, but the substance they inject into the scalp to stop the blood from clotting can cause allergic reactions in some people. This can lead to itching, and if the skin is broken when scratched, can lead to infection.
Q: How do you catch head lice?
A: Head lice can walk from one human head to another if there is close contact of more than 30 seconds. For this reason, children are particularly prone to head lice, as they can catch them while playing.
Q: How do you get rid of head lice?
A: There are many ways of treating head lice and their eggs.
Q: Can head lice come back?
A: Yes, even if you have already successfully treated head lice, you can catch them again if you don't take precautions, but there are products than can help reduce this risk.
