Frequently Asked Questions
We have been asked many. The following summary gives most of the answers. If your answer isn't here,

- head lice cannot fly!
- companies advertise herbal solutions and suggest their
customers report these were effective at removing eggs. We repeat... nothing short of a flamethrower will remove
eggs from your hair. Users of these products report seeing eggs come out. Impossible, the eggs are microscopic.
What they see are old discarded skin cases. Beware of any company suggesting their products remove eggs as it shows
they are not looking scientifically at the issue!
- you can only get lice through head to head contact with
someone who already has them in their hair
- they can only survive for a very short time if they fall
off your head and onto carpets, bedding, and furnishings
- they will only lay their eggs in your head hair
- they are NOT major carriers of disease in the west
- they need your body heat, your blood, and oil from your
scalp to flourish. Without these things, they die within a day or so.
- you cannot remove their eggs from your hair. The eggs are
glued to the hair shaft
- when first born they are so small, you will probably not
be able to see them
- they love clean hair and clean people. Being infested with
head lice has no bearing on your cleanliness.
- the secret of their success is due to the way their eggs
work
- there is no need to go mad washing clothes, bed-linen,
hoovering your home, in an attempt to get rid of head lice. None of this is neccessary!

head shaved to get rid of them

of them

known insecticide products currently sold to kill them. New products are being developed but need several years
to undergo public safety checks.
