What are LICE?

• Really Itsy Teeny Tiny Insects(the size of a
  sesame seed!)
• A louse (single lice) is brown or grey, with 6
  legsbut since theyre so small, it might be hard
  to see them!
• Lice LOVE us! In fact, they need us to survive!
  Why ???

LICE ARE PARASITES!

• Lice CLING to our hairs, making a new home!
• They drink our blood, sort of like how Mosquitoes
  do, but in smaller amounts.
• But Lice dont leave after they feed like
  mosquitoes do they can live on our body for a
  VERY long time if we dont fight back!

Who gets lice?

• YOU!
• Your classmates!
• Anyone!
• Lice love everyone! They like girls, boys, clean
  people, smelly people, 1st graders, adults, and
  so on

DO I have Lice?

• Well, you may be able to tell something is wrong
  by a few signs
• Youre scratching your head lots because youre
  itchy!
• Tickling feeling moving around on your head
• You have small, white, beige, or brown blobs
  clinging to your hair.
• These blobs are mostly around the neck and behind
  the ears and theyre hard to take out!

How do you get lice?

• People get lice from sharing combs, brushes,
• hats, clothes, headbands, sleeping bags,
  pillows, and much more
• Anything that sticks to the lice on someone
  elses head can easily be transferred to your
  head if you touch that object after!
• Lice CANNOT Jump or Fly!

EwwHow do I get rid of Them?

• TELL AN ADULT! (your parents, teacher,
  principal!)
• They will help remove the insects from your head
  with special shampoo and a comb bought from the
  pharmacy.
• Dont forget that if you do get lice, you must
  clean your pillows, toys, bedding and clothes
  too, just in case the lice are hiding!
• Look for nits in your siblings and parents heads
  too!
