About this document

Head Lice Treatment and Prevention Guide by Ivy Jorene Roman Rodriguez is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Head lice are small parasitic insects that live on human heads and feed on blood. They cannot survive off a human host for more than 48 hours. Pesticide sprays are ineffective at treating head lice and pose health risks. The best treatment is manual removal of lice and eggs (nits) with a fine-toothed comb. Parents should check children regularly and teach them not to share personal items to avoid spreading head lice.
