How can I get free lice?
Vacuum furniture and carpets, especially if the person with lice frequently lies on them. Soak combs, brushes, and any other hair tools in hot water for 5-10 minutes. For even greater protection, consider replacing them. Wash scarves, hats, and other clothing that comes into direct contact with the head.
Will I get lice from my child?
They can only crawl, and as a result, most transmission is only by direct contact. The spreading of lice can happen through the sharing of brushes and hats, but the easiest way lice spread is by head-to-head contact. Children do not need to be sent home from school for head lice infestations.
