Transmission Of Head Lice

Lice are transferred through head-to-head contact via hats, headphones, brushes, helmets, barrettes, or headrests. Pets do not transmit head lice. Lice cannot jump or fly and can live away from the human body for only 24 hours. They do not carry diseases but can cause head irritation and secondary infections, such as impetigo, due to scratching. Children between the ages of three and ten are most susceptible but people of all ages can be infected.  Lice Lifters often see an outbreak of head lice after sleepovers and playdates due to all of the head to head contact.
