The wingless head lice parasites feed on human blood every three to six hours. Lice and their eggs or nits may be white, cream, or tan. Their claws are used for clinging to hair or clothing, making them crawl easily from one person to another.

Close Interaction

The head lice are usually transmitted through the head to head contact. For example, the school children play and work very closely such that their heads come in touch. As a result, the normal child gets easily infested from the lice infected ones.

Sharing Things

Head lice can also be easily transmitted by sharing infected towels, clothing, bedding, hats, combs, brushes, hair accessories, headphones, pillows, and stuffed toys.
