Prompt actions are required to rid yourself of this tormenting pest. Lice infestation can easily be treated at home. Head lice are found on the hairs of the head, behind the ears and on the back of the neck. Body lice are rarely seen. They prefer to inhabit the seams or linings of clothing and only move to the body when feeding.
Nits look like small transparent grains of rice.
Head lice attach each egg to a hair shaft with a gluey substance. Body lice lay their eggs in the seams or linings of garments attached to cloth fibers. Pubic lice cement their eggs to hairs in the pubic or perianal regions. Body lice are usually acquired by close personal contact with an infested person's clothing, or the use of infested bedding. If you suspect lice, see a medical provider at Brocker Health Center where appropriate medication is available.
