Most parents move through their lives blissfully unconcerned about head lice until they receive a letter from their child's school nurse. Head lice infestation is as common as it is uncomfortable and embarrassing. In spite of its prevalence, there are a lot of myths about lice, how they are transmitted and how to treat an infestation.

Head lice is highly contagious, but contrary to popular belief, lice can't fly or jump from person to person. Lice spread primarily through head to head contact at school, slumber parties and day care centers. Lice can also be spread by using the same pillows and bed linens, combs and brushes, and hats and hair scrunchies.

A common belief is that lice infestation is caused by poor hygiene. This is not true. People can and do get lice no matter how well groomed they are. The only way to prevent lice infestation is to limit exposure to children who have recently been infested. Teaching your children to avoid sharing hats, combs and hair ribbons and to stay away from bedding used by children recently treated for lice is the best way to reduce the risk of infestation.
