Children tend to pass viruses and things of that nature much quicker than adults because they have closer contact with one another (mainly in a school setting, but even two children playing together can be very close). Another thing to consider is that younger children make a habit of putting foreign objects in their mouths and this is a sure way to catch any bug or virus going around, lice included.
