Head Lice cannot jump and they do not live on other animals. You get them from head to head contact with another person. The lice crawl from their head to yours. If you get more than one louse and they breed, then you get eggs which hatch and you have an infestation.

∙ 12y agoYou get head lice or a louse by head to head contact with an infected person or using something they used within 48 hours. So next time you go to a store and want to try on a hat or scarf...
However, head lice can not jump, fly, or swim. They just crawl fast.
