What are Head Lice?

Head Lice are tiny wingless parasites the size of a sesame seed. They need human blood from the human host to survive.

 Super lice dont have capes or superpowers they are simply resistant to the over-the-counter chemical treatments.

Thankfully they can not. Lice are human parasites only.

The most common symptoms is itching, red bite marks on the scalp, neck and behind ears. However only 50% of people have an allergic reaction.

The most common way is head-to-head contact or sharing hair brushes. 

Nits can not hatch off the head as they need a steady temperature from the host to incubate. They also do not fall off the hair shaft as they're glued on with a material that lice make.

Lice can live off the human host for up to 48 hours. 

There is no proven fact that lice spread germs or disease.

Unless you are bald or your hair is shaved down to a 1, you can still pick up lice.
