Knowledge is Power!

• Lice do not jump or fly. They have no wings. They "walk" from one hair or head to another.
• Pets cannot get lice.
• Lice infestation is rarely dangerous. At it's worst, secondary infections can develop from hours of scratching which can break the skin and allow bacteria to set in.
• A female louse can lay up to 100 eggs a month. She attaches them to the hair strands.
• Lice are very contagious and are easily spread from head to head or by shared combs, hats, etc..
• Lice cannot travel to other body parts.
• Some lice have grown resistant to over-the-counter remedies.
• No shampoo alone can get rid of lice. Manual removal of nits is essential to prevent reinfestation.
