People with head lice may experience the following symptoms:
- A tickling feeling of something moving in the hair
- Itching of the head
- Small, red bumps on the head
- Rash on the head
- Small, powdery flecks in the hair
Contrary to popular belief, poor personal hygiene does not increase one’s likelihood of getting head lice. In fact, it is still possible to get hair lice even if you wash your hair on a daily basis.
