Why Do You Pop Head Lice?

Head lice are tiny creatures that need close proximity to the human skin to survive. Because the human scalp is moist and warm, it is the perfect environment for these creatures. They feed on blood and leave behind eggs that are tiny and hard to remove. Lice can also transmit disease through contact with the human scalp. It is important to treat a lice infestation quickly. You can follow the steps below to help eliminate the infestation and keep it from coming back.

First of all, check your child’s hair. It is important to check children’s hair frequently, especially when they’re young and share hair bows. If you think your child may have head lice, treat them immediately. The sooner you treat your child, the more likely you will be to prevent the spread of the infection.

The next step is to use a lice shampoo. You should use one with an Australian Registered or Listed number to make sure it is safe and effective. Ensure that the shampoo is applied to dry hair and that the entire hair is covered, including the scalp. If the shampoo does not work, repeat the process for another seven days.

It is important to remember that lice lay their eggs in the hair and are attached to it with glue. This glue is very strong and cannot be removed by touching it. If you see a nit with a hard shell, this nit is most likely a louse.
