Head Lice Treatment
Children and head lice
Oh no! You child has come home with a note about Head Lice?
let's talk a little about a head louse and what it does.
When head lice have found a host with the right conditions in
their hair and scalp, they breed wildly. The female head louse
can lay between 3 and 6 eggs a day, which are only the size of
a grain of sand and the eggs just take a week to hatch before
the baby lice, called nymphs are hatched.
After hatching the nymphs go through 3 stages before maturing
to an adult, during each stage they shed their exoskeleton to
promote growth.
Kids tend to spend a lot of time in close space with each other
as they play, they tend not to think about individual space, and
pass head lice around to other children inadvertently.
Children between four and eleven in age are the most likely to
carry infestation, this is because those older than eleven start
to think about individual space.
It can take time and round after round to eradicate an infestation
of the head lice, and it can become expensive and exhausting for
both you and your children.
