Before classes began, a mother brought her eight-year-old daughter to a salon for a haircut.
The girl sat down and the hairdresser started to comb her hair after they had waited their turn. The hairdresser was taken aback when she placed the comb through her hair.

Lice are little, parasitic, wingless insects that consume human blood. Lice are easily transmitted through intimate personal contact and the sharing of personal items, especially by schoolchildren.

Signs and symptoms
Head lice Head nits Launch the pop-up dialogue box.

Typical lice symptoms and indicators include:

severe itching in the vaginal area, on the scalp, or across the body.
a tickling sensation brought on by hair movement.
lice on your body, clothes, pubic hair, scalp, or other bodily parts. Adult lice can be slightly bigger than a sesame seed or roughly the size of one.
Nits, or lice eggs, on hair shafts. Because nits are so small, it could be challenging to see them. The areas around the ears and the nape of the neck are the easiest to see. Although nits are sometimes confused with dandruff, they are more difficult to remove from hair.
sores in the shoulders, neck, and scalp. Small red lumps that may occasionally become infected with bacteria might result from scratching.
bite marks, particularly in the pelvic region, upper thighs, waist, and groin.
