LICE IS A 4 LETTER WORD

Head lice and nit diagnoses tend to peak at back to school time and after spring break- mainly because all those kids are getting their heads together again and sharing the pesky critters.

Any parent who has dealt with head lice and nits knows how annoying this problem can be - and most parents with children attending schools or group settings are likely to encounter it at some point.

Head lice is caused by a nearly invisible insect called Pediculus humanus capitis. The six-legged tiny critter is rarely seen and parents usually become aware of the infestation by finding the white eggs or nits in their child’s hair near the scalp.
