Head lice typically spread through head-to-head contact.
Pre-school and elementary school-going children are at greatest risk of getting head lice, tiny insects that feed on human blood on the scalp. Such infection affects millions of people worldwide.
If you have a child in the house or come into close contact with one, you are also at risk of getting head lice. However, you may not be aware you have the infestation since symptoms, such as itching, can take two to six weeks to manifest. A rash or skin infection may develop in severe cases of head lice, when there is excessive itching and scratching.
