Prescriptions for head lice

Symptom

Lice are minuscule insects that stay on the scalp and feed on the blood of their host, which causes the itching. They are caught through contact with an affected person, or via personal articles that have been shared (like hairbrushes, hats, clothing, towels, bedding, etc.) They spread very quickly, so it is essential to act immediately.
