Head lice are spread easily from person to person by direct contact. People can get head lice by:
Coming into close contact with an already infested person. In children, contact is common during play, while riding the school bus, and during classroom activities in which children sit in groups close to each other.
Wearing infested clothing, such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, or hair ribbons
Using infested combs, brushes, or towels
Lying on a bed, couch, pillow, carpet, or stuffed animal that has been contaminated
Lice do not jump or fly. Lice are not spread to humans from pets or other animals.
Head lice infestation is diagnosed by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs, or adult lice.
Nits are the easiest to see. They are found "glued" to the hair shaft. Unlike dandruff or hairspray, they will not slide along a strand of hair. If you find nits more than 1/4 inch from the scalp, the infection is probably an old one.
Nymphs and adults can be hard to find; there are usually few of them, and they can move quickly from searching fingers. If lice are seen, finding nits close to the scalp confirms that a person is infested.
