Lice are tiny parasitic insects that live on the human scalp and feed on blood. Most commonly found in children, lice can affect anyone, regardless of personal hygiene. They spread easily, making early detection and treatment essential.

Super lice are an evolved strain of lice that are resistant to over-the-counter treatments. These lice are harder to eliminate using standard remedies, which are 95% less effective against them. Professional lice removal services, like those offered at Lice is Simple, provide the most reliable solution.

Lice spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact, such as during hugging, playing, or sharing close spaces. They can also transfer via personal items like brushes, hats, or bedding. While lice don't fly or jump, they crawl quickly, making prevention challenging.

Common signs of a lice infestation include:

• Persistent itching on the scalp or neck

• A crawling sensation or tickling feeling in the hair

• Red bumps or sores caused by scratching

• Visible lice or tiny white/brown eggs (nits) stuck to hair shafts

Important note: Only 50% of people experience itching with a lice infestation, underscoring the importance of consulting a professional.

Lice infestations are common and can be identified by these key symptoms:

1. Persistent Itching

• Itching on the scalp, neck, or behind the ears is the most common sign of lice, caused by an allergic reaction to bites.

2. Tickling or Crawling Sensation

• A feeling of something moving in your hair can indicate lice.

3. Visible Lice or Nits (Eggs)

• Lice: Small, sesame seed-sized bugs that are brown, gray, or white.

• Nits: Tiny, oval-shaped eggs stuck to hair shafts near the scalp, often confused with dandruff but harder to remove.

4. Red Bumps or Sores

• Scratching from lice bites can lead to red bumps or irritated skin on the scalp or neck.

5. Trouble Sleeping

• Lice are more active at night, which can disrupt sleep and cause discomfort.
