A few years ago, as the children got older, the probability of catching head lice at school decreased, but it seems that this trend has changed.

An increase in infection among high school students has been detected. Do you know why? The famous group selfies. Yes, those selfies that teenagers take with their friends, making faces and posing like models, and then sharing them on social networks.

THE FIRST STUDY TO CONFIRM THIS

The Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment has conducted a study of more than 2000 students which confirms that 28% of primary school pupils and 19% of secondary school pupils have head lice. The latter figure represents an increase in the presence of head lice among adolescents.

The selfie craze has a lot to do with the presence of head lice among older pupils. Hugs and photos bring their hair into contact with each other, facilitating the spread of head lice. The study also highlights that 1 in 10 adults also have head lice.
