Back to School and Head Lice: Symptoms and How to Detect Them

The start of the school year often brings close contact between children and a higher risk of head lice spreading. Head lice are not linked to poor hygiene; they are a common infestation that can affect any child. The most common symptom is intense itching, caused by sensitivity to the saliva of the lice when they feed on the scalp.

Why Lice Spread at School

Nits usually appear attached to the hair close to the scalp and are easier to see with good light and a fine-toothed comb. Check especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck, where lice and nits are often found first.
