How to treat head licePage 1CalderdalePrimary Care TrustFacts about head lice. Head lice are tiny insects which live on the hair close to the scalp. They feed from the human scalp by sucking blood from the skin. Both adults and children can get head lice. Head lice WALK from one head to another during HEAD TOHEAD contact: they do not fly or jump. Lice hatch from eggs and leave behind empty cases. These white cases are called nits. Your hair is only infected with head lice if you find a living moving louse (not a nit) Remember: The best way to stop infection is to use the special detection comb regularly and treat when you find living lice. Use a special detection comb to spot lice early DO NOT use topical head lice products just in case. They wont prevent infection. Whenever you need help ask your pharmacist.
