Yes. Lice can jump from head to head - whether by hugging schoolgirls or boys playing sports (or vice versa). Lice should be treated and nits should be removed, before the child returns to school.

How do you check for head lice?

You have to take strands of hair & look at your scalp. Head lice attach themselves & lay their eggs just a little away from your actual scalp & stay on strands of hair. You can check for the eggs, which will be white if hatched, & brown/gray for those that didn't. If they move easily when you brush it with your finger, it is not head lice. If it is hard to move, & stays in place, it is likely to be nits (the eggs).
