WE TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT<\/strong> WHAT ARE HEAD LICE?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are oviparous insects that live exclusively on human hair and feed on blood. They are visible to the naked eye, brown and between 2 - 3mm in size. Head lice infestation is known as pediculosis.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n WHAT ABOUT NITS?<\/strong><\/p>\n Nits are the small whitish eggs that are attached to the base of the hair and within a week or so hatch into lice.<\/p>\n<\/div> Did you know that lice cannot survive for more than 24 hours outside the head of a human being? Lice are parasites and need the food and temperature of their host to live, i.e. our heads.<\/p>\n They live for about a month, we tell you about their 3 stages: To ensure that the nits adhere to the hair, they secrete a sticky, water-insoluble substance that acts as a fixative.<\/p>\n<\/div> WAYS OF SPREADING HEAD LICE<\/strong><\/p>\n Have you heard that head lice jump 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 head lice have a preference for dirty heads? False... they prefer clean hair as it gives them a better grip and makes it easier for them to reach the scalp. And remember, pets CANNOT infect us.<\/p>\n<\/div> SYMPTOMS AND REVIEW 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n<\/div> IF it needs pediculicidal treatment:<\/strong> NO pediculicidal treatment is required:<\/strong> HOW TO CHECK THE HEAD IN DEPTH?<\/p>\n<\/div> Thoroughly examine the hair strand by strand, with the help of a comb (narrow-toothed comb).<\/p>\n<\/div> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div> HOW TO DISTINGUISH NITS FROM DANDRUFF?<\/p>\n<\/div> 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 by normal washing, nits remain. Nits separate from the scalp as the hair grows. The further away from the root they are, the more likely they are to have died or hatched. Therefore, the sight of nits does not mean that the infestation is still active.<\/p>\n<\/div> ANTI-LICE TREATMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n If your little one is already infested, win the battle against lice with Nosaattack treatments.<\/p>\n ANTI-LICE LOTION 5% DIMETHICONE<\/p>\n Its unique combination of silicones and high-density dimethicone envelops the louse, paralysing it and causing it to suffocate to death. Thanks to the softening properties of dimethicone, it facilitates the removal of lice and detangles the hair without tugging. ANTI-LICE LOTION 1% PYRETHRIN<\/p>\n Formulated with D-phenothrin, a pediculicidal active ingredient that blocks the louse's central nervous system, ensuring its elimination.<\/p>\n Non-greasy. Leaves no residue. TREATMENTS Have you finished with the lice but still have nits? It's time to use the nit lotion.<\/p>\n NIT LOTION<\/p>\n Formulated with Quassia Vinegar which inhibits the formation of chitin that prevents nits from sticking to the hair and at the same time helps to dissolve them, favouring their detachment. It is recommended for use after an infestation, if nits are observed attached to the hair or for combing with the Nosaattack nit comb to detect if nits or eggs are present.<\/p>\n Insecticide free.

\nWhy are children more prone to head lice? Head lice can be transmitted at any age, but young children, due to their habits, are most at risk of contracting them.
\nIt is therefore important to know the means of transmission they use in order to avoid contagion.
\n- Head-to-head contact
\n- Contact with everyday objects close to the head, such as combs, hats, stuffed animals, upholstery....<\/p>\nSYMPTOMS AND REVIEW<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
