What is lice? These are tiny bugs that suck blood from your scalp. They live and multiply on the scalp itself. A louse is about the size of a strawberry seed and nits (head lice eggs) appear similar to dandruff. These pesky parasites can easily transfer from one person to another through direct or indirect contact. But, how do you get lice? Since lice only crawl and stay on the human scalp, they cling to the skin and prefer to avoid any light. However, sharing the same hairbrush or other personal products might put you or kids at risk. Nonetheless, home remedies for lice work pretty well!

What Are The Head Lice Symptoms?

• Itchiness
