Head lice are parasitic insects that infest the head. They are small, about the size of a sesame seed. They spread by crawling. They live by biting and sucking blood from the scalp and cannot survive for more than a few hours unless they are on a human head. It is important to eliminate head lice because they can affect children's health and performance in school.
Scratching can lead to secondary infections, leaving children feeling achy, feverish, or lethargic.
Pediculosis incidents are increasing. We recommend obtaining Clear products from your local pharmacy. Follow package instructions carefully of the egg remover solution. Apply to infected areas on dry hair. Add warm water and lather.
