Lice is very common. I find that many get it during the childhood. three million ppl get lice each year in the United States. People should avoid using hair things and brushes with ppl who have lice. Many do not tell others they have lice b/c it is a nuesence. Also Hair Stylists don't cut lice hair but most ppl find it easier to treat lice with shorter hair. Try NOT TELLING the Stylist that's what i did.

hi

Head lice are tiny gray-brown wingless parasitic insects that affect only humans. They live by sucking blood from the scalp. They cannot be caught from or passed on to animals. Nits are head lice eggs - tiny white specks that are stuck to the base of hairs.

An infestation of head lice is known as pediculosis capitis.

Pediculosis capitis is the second most common communicable disease affecting schoolchildren, after the common cold.

hope this helps ! :)
