<h1>Head lice</h1>
<h2>Check if you have them</h2>
<p>Head lice are small insects, up to 3 mm long.</p>
<p>Head lice eggs are yellow or brown. If you see these you’ll know that you have head lice.</p>
<p>The empty shells of the eggs after they hatch stay in the hair. These are called nits.</p>
<p>Head lice and their eggs are:</p>
<ul>
<li>attached to the hair</li>
<li>sometimes itchy</li>
<li>can feel as though something is moving in your hair</li>
</ul>
<p>As soon as you spot head lice you should treat them. You can do this without seeing your GP.</p>
<p>You can use sprays and lotions to get rid of headlice or a special comb if you don’t want to use chemicals.</p>
<p>Anyone can get head lice. They don’t have anything to do with dirty hair.</p>
<h2>Use lotion or spray to get rid of head lice</h2>
<p>These lotions and sprays kill head lice in any kind of hair, including afro hair:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hedrin (leave overnight)</li>
<li>Full Marks Solution (leave for 10 minutes)</li>
<li>solutions with Malathion (leave overnight)</li>
</ul>
<p>The head lice will die and fall out within a day. These products come with a comb to comb out the dead lice.</p>
<p>You should repeat treatment after a week, to kill lice that hatch from eggs already laid in the hair.</p>
<p>You can get them at the pharmacy, supermarket or online.</p>
<h2>Use a special comb if you don’t want to use chemicals</h2>
<p>If you’re allergic or don’t want to use chemicals you can use a comb with very fine teeth and comb the head lice out. It works on any kind of hair.</p>
<p>It’s sold as a Bug Buster comb. You can get it at the pharmacy or online.</p>
<h2>Check everyone in the house</h2>
<p>Fully grown head lice can crawl from one head to another.</p>
<p>Get a comb with very fine teeth (detection comb) at the pharmacy or online and comb through everyone’s hair in the house to check if they have head lice.</p>
<p>You should let school know if your children have head lice because other children in the class might have them too without their parents knowing.</p>
<h2>You can’t prevent head lice</h2>
<p>There’s nothing you can do to prevent head lice. However, if you know someone has head lice or is treated for them, avoid head to head contact.</p>
<p>If you’re worried about head lice you can run a detection comb (see above) through your hair to check if you have any.</p>
<p>Don’t use lotions or sprays to prevent head lice. They can damage your scalp when used all the time.</p>
