Lice On The Head

Head lice and nits (lice eggs) are very tiny and camouflage with the hair. If you have never seen lice or lice eggs before so how are you supposed to identify them on the head?

Most people associate head lice with having an itchy scalp. As long as they are not scratching their heads or seeing their children scratching, they assume that they are safe. Take it from us at LiceDoctors, this is not always the case.

You are settling in with your kids to watch TV for the evening when all of a sudden you notice your younger daughter is scratching her hair. It's probably nothing, right? You go back to watching TV. Wait, is your older daughter also scratching her head? Two itchy scalps...probably not good. You don't want to panic, however, you know how prevalent those dreaded head lice are...does lice itch?
