Head lice can "get into" just about anywhere on your body, but they are not likely to stay anywhere other than your head. Hence the name head lice.
Can you get lice if you were with a person or even with the family who had lice even if it was only a few hours?
Of course you can. Lice have the abbility to jump from head to head. And because of their small body structures they can do it whenever whereever. If you are aware someone has lice and they are around you leave the area until you are aware the lice has been removedamd you should always wash your hair .
How soon after coming in contact with someone with lice does your head start itching?
This is what I can tell you from my expert experience. Your head may itch only after you have had head to head contact,or shared brushes, hats or combs with someone with head lice. This is how head lice is passed. They don't fly or jump but they do crawl Fast!! If your head itches and you have been in close contact with someone with lice you may need to call an expert. My Hair Helpers is trained to help detect head lice. Don't wait until you have a full infestation to call an expert!

hair lice are creatures that get in your hair by your head being too near to another person who's head does have head lice.

Can you catch headlice if your over 50 years?
Parasites such as lice really do not know or care how old their host may be. There is no age limit. Possibly the only advantage that the elderly may have, in avoiding head lice, is that they often have less hair, and head lice need hair to live in. Bald people won't get head lice.

Head lice eat blood from attaching themselves to someone's head. Each only needs a small amount of blood to survive though.
Can you catch head lice helping to remove nits?
Yes you can. If you touch yourself after you hands have been in the hair or you make head to head or hair to item contact the risk of transmission is there. If you follow a sanitation protocol like the one that Lice Squad Canada uses you will not get lice nit picking. I know because I have been doing this for over 10 years and have never contracted head lice.
Do lice jump around on your head?
Lice do not jump I have video they crawl on a single strand of hair and very quickly.
