Actually head lice do NOT have wings and they can't jump either!!

AnswerThey are so small you barely notice. They need to be treated with a special shampoo so speak to your doctor immediately or speak to the pharmacist for an over the counter treatment to relieve the irritation. Be careful as so they won't spread to any other hair on your body. Yes, they are transferable.

they don't have wings...

You can get rid of head lice with mayonaise and a special shampoo...
