Head Lice Head lice is a common condition in school age children. Head lice do not carry any disease and are not a sign of poor hygiene. They are simply a nuisance. Head lice do not hop, jump or fly. They are spread by close head-to-head contact. Pets do not carry or give us head lice. The human head is the only place that head lice can live and survive. The most effective method of preventing the spread of lice is for parents to periodically check their children at home; treat with a head lice product recommended by their health care provider when found; and make every effort to remove all nits. Please notify the school nurse if you do find lice on your child.
