THE FACTS OF LICE

Please read all information before using Ivermectin Lotion.

If you or a member of your household has head lice, don't panic. Keep calm.

Anyone can get head lice – it has nothing to do with cleanliness or poor hygiene. Head lice are treatable and very rarely cause serious health problems.

What are head lice?

• Head lice are small insects that live and feed on the human scalp.
• They may get as big as sesame seeds and are brown.
• Lice do not fly or jump from one person to another. They can only crawl.

What are nits?

• Nits are lice eggs laid on the hair near the scalp. One louse may lay over 100 nits.
• Nits are oval shaped, tiny and greyish-white.
• They are attached to hair with a waterproof glue-like substance that cannot be washed out or blown away.

How do head lice spread?

• Head lice spread easily from close head-to-head or hand-to-head contact with persons who have lice.
• They may also be spread by sharing hats, helmets, scarves, headphones, brushes, combs, bedding and clothing.

How do you know if you have lice?

• Itching is the most common symptom.
• Scratching behind the ears or the back of the neck is a sign that you should check for head lice.
• Scabs or blood spots may be seen.

How do you prevent the spread of lice?

• Avoid direct head-to-head contact with anyone known to have live, crawling lice.
• Do not share combs, brushes, hats, scarves, bandannas, ribbons, barrettes, hair bands, towels, helmets, or other hair-related personal items with anyone else, whether they have lice or not.
• Avoid sleepovers and slumber parties during lice outbreaks.
• Lice can live in bedding, pillows, and carpets that have recently been used by someone with lice.
