Description of Lice Comb - 1 - Comb
The stainless steel teeth are long and sturdy, and slightly angled and rounded at the tip - this keeps the comb from tearing or damaging the hair and scalp. The spacing between the teeth catches the lice and nits. The long handle makes it easy to maneuver easily through any type hair. Head lice are bloodsucking, wingless insects. Pediculosis, the infestation of man by lice, has been documented for thousands of years. Lice are very host specific; human lice cannot be transmitted to or from pets or other animals. Like all insects, head lice have six legs. Lice cannot fly or jump; they move only by crawling. Head lice lay their eggs on hair shafts, usually within a quarter-inch of the scalp. These tiny white eggs, known as nits, hatch before the hair grows more than half an inch. Any nits farther than half an inch from the scalp are in all likelihood shells of eggs that have already hatched. They generally hatch within a week of being laid, but it may take up to a month after contact before any symptoms of itching begin. Lice tend to adapt their color to their surroundings; lice found on dark-haired, dark-skinned individuals are darker than those found on people with lighter skin or blond hair. How do you get head lice? Direct head-to-head touching spreads lice. They do not fly or jump, they crawl. Children at play have closer contact than adults, so they're more likely to get lice, though this does not exempt adults from infestation. Head lice can be spread by sharing the following items: Personal items (clothing, combs, headbands, hats, scrunchies and or scarves). Towels, linens, pillows, carpeting, and naptime blankets. Stuffed animals, dolls and cloth toys. Earphones used for personal radios. Lockers or hanging clothes together on coat hooks. School uniforms, costumes, or gym clothing. Head lice prefer clean, healthy heads and will actually leave the head of malnourished individuals in search of a more nutritious host. Children aged 3 to 11 are the head louse's priLice Combs
