WHAT ARE HEAD LICE?
Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are oviparous insects that live exclusively on human hairThey need the temperature of their hosts (our horses) and feed on blood. Their appearance is visible to the naked eye, brown and between 2 - 3mm in size. Head lice infestation is known as pediculosis.
They cannot fly or jump (as some myths suggest). Their six legs allow them to cling to hair and move very quickly, so they are difficult to spot and their nits are easier to distinguish, as they do not move.
WHAT ABOUT NITS?
Nits are the small whitish eggs that are attached to the base of the hair and within a week or so hatch into lice.
Have you heard of lice jumping from head to head?
This is a myth. Head lice are only spread by contact as they cannot fly or jump. Their fast movements allow them to travel from head to head or through objects that are in contact with the head. Do lice prefer dirty heads? False... they prefer clean hair as it gives them a better grip and makes it easier for them to reach the scalp.
Why are toddlers more prone?
Head lice can be transmitted at any age, but young children, because of their habits, are most at risk.
It is therefore important to know the means of transmission they use in order to avoid contagion.
- Head-to-head contact
- Contact with everyday objects close to the head, such as combs, hats, stuffed animals, upholstery....
And remember, domestic animals
They CANNOT infect us.
SYMPTOMS OF INFESTATION
The main symptom that your child has lice is itching. When the louse bites to feed, it secretes saliva, which is the cause of itching and in most people also the reddening of the area.
Normally, the more itchy the head, the greater the infestation. If the person has had a previous infestation, they are likely to have more discomfort as the area is sensitised.
How to distinguish nits from dandruff?
Nits show resistance when trying to detach from the hair due to the sticky substance that keeps them attached, dandruff does not. Dandruff is removed with normal washing, nits remain.
Nits detach from the scalp as the hair grows. The further away from the root they are, the more likely they have died or hatched. Therefore, the sight of nits does not mean that the infestation is still active.
- No itching, but live lice are visible.
- Itching and visualisation of nits
- Itching without visualising nits or live lice. We recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist.
- Use a preventive spray to keep lice away.
HOW TO CHECK THE HEAD IN DEPTH?
STEP 1
Thoroughly examine the hair strand by strand, with the help of a comb (narrow-toothed comb).
STEP 2
Pay special attention to the nape of the neck and behind the ears where the temperature is more constant and the hair is less prone to breakage.
STEP 3
Shake the comb in the sink or on a white surface to see if there are any lice. Clean the comb with water under the tap to wash away the lice.
