Head lice are a very common problem that most parents and
teachers are more than familiar with. Unfortunately, the management
and treatment of head lice is surrounded by a large amount
of misinformation and myth, particularly about their habits
and what is and isn't an effective treatment. Much of the
misunderstanding, stigma and blame about head lice have come
about because many people do not know how head lice reproduce,
grow or are spread from head to head.
Understanding the biology and lifecycle of head lice will
enable you to understand how to effectively treat and manage
head lice in your family and school.
This website provides information about head lice biology,
treatment options and links
to other websites and resources on the Nitbusters
Program. Also provided are a number of factsheets
for parents, teachers and hairdressers.
