lice

According to the Mayo Clinic head lice is a very common problem, nearly as common in school aged children as the common cold. The tiny, wingless parasites live in the hair and on the head of the host feeding on the blood of the scalp. Thought to be a hygiene issue, the spread of lice has nothing to do with grooming, but is more about the person-to-person contact that spreads the infestation of the head lice. Severe itching and the presence of adult lice or nits (eggs) behind the ears, down the neck and in the hair are common symptoms of the infestation of head lice.

Head lice treatment, medications and herbal and natural lice treatment suggestions are available at the blog hosted by Head Lice Blog. The site includes information on tea tree oil, neem oil and other natural treatments for head lice.
