Lice are tiny wingless insects that feed on human blood and are easily transmitted, especially among schoolchildren who share personal items or have close contact. Common symptoms of lice infestation include intense itching on the scalp, body, or genital area, a tickling sensation from hair movement, and the presence of lice and their eggs (nits) on hair shafts. Sores and bite marks can also develop from scratching.
It’s essential to address lice infestations promptly. Treatment options include consulting a doctor or using lice removal solutions. Early detection and action are crucial as lice can quickly spread from person to person.
