Headlice by Jack B

Head lice are insects that live on human hair and can’t jump, swim or fly.

You can catch headlice very easily. The way to get them is by sharing hats and combs or by head contact. Anyone can catch them.

There are heaps of ways to get rid of them. You can use nit wash, a comb, olive oil or a robo comb. Nit wash poisons them, combs pull them out, olive oil stops them breathing and a robo comb zaps them.

The life cycle of a head louse is easy to remember. Egg, baby, teenager, adult and then they die after five weeks in your hair.

Headlice can only live in human hair. They are a type of insect that makes your hair itch. Did you know that they lived on ancient mummies? They also suck blood from your scalp.

Headlice are annoying insects.
