How to Do We Get Infected by Lice?
Lice only can infect you if you get close to an already infected person’s head, as head intimacy is an initiative for lice to crawl from one person to another! So, avoid any kind of direct contact with the person who already has lice in his or her head. Remember that the reason of lice infestation doesn’t relate to the cleanness or hair length, they always find a room to your head as long as there are possibilities to suck blood from your scalp, no matter it is from dirty or hygiene surface!
One more thing we should mention here that lice not only go one head to another, it also could spread through your clothes or some stuffs which are used on your hair, like comb, hat, or hair accessories. That means you should shun any kind of intimacy from the lice infected person and keep yourself away as much far as you can if you don’t want to be infected by these disgusting parasites!
- Head Intimacy
- Its not about dirty or clean hair
- Sharing Personal stuff
- Kids are prone to get infested with head lice

How Do Lice Spread?
Lice don’t have any wings as we mention several times and thus, they couldn’t fly from one head to another. So, if you get infected or have lice in your head then it must spread in some other ways. Like, you or your kids got intimated with some already infected people; you wore some personal objects of that infected person such as hats, helmets, caps, etc. or use some nonhuman elements through which lice could spread as in comb or hair brush.
Sometimes, despite keeping a minimum distance from a lice-infected person, we get these small parasites in our hair! So in that case, we will recommend you to avoid going such places too, if possible!
