What is Pediculosis capitis?

Pediculosis capitis, commonly known as head lice, is a contagious infestation of the scalp caused by the parasitic insect, Pediculus humanus capitis. It is spread through direct contact with an infested person or by sharing personal items such as combs, brushes, hats, and clothing. Symptoms of pediculosis capitis include itching of the scalp and the presence of lice eggs (nits) on the hair shafts.

All freshly washed clothing, bed sheets, and towels must be washed in hot water. Anything that cannot be washed should be sealed in a plastic bag and stored in a dark place for 10 to 14 days. Jackets, sweaters, hats, pillows, bicycle helmets, and stuffed animals are examples of non-washable items. A variety of over-the-counter products can be used to clean furniture, carpets, and car seats.
