Lice like nice clean hair to live in! There are treatments that you (and your family - you need to treat everyone in the household) need to get from a chemist to get rid of them.
They have been living on peoples heads and have been passed from one person to another down from the time of our monkey ancestors (they have evolved with us).

∙ 15y agoThe easiest way to get lice is by sharing personal products (such as a hair brush, comb, etc.) with an infected person. You can also get them in public sitting areas, since these often go uncleaned (ie movie theater seats, etc.). Lice can jump too so they could have got it from anywhere. They got it from somebody else. And if you have lice you can pass them on too just by hugging someone, standing beside them in a queue or sharing a pillow.

∙ 15y agoA person or child does not contract lice because they are dirty like some people think. Lice are very contageous though, you catch them by using someones brush, comb, towel, anything that might touch to your head that belonged to that person. Lice are comon in children because as we all know kids lay, jump, crawl, rub all over everything and anything. There are products on the market, drug stores to kill these.
