You have lice.
Now what?
3 things you should do immediately
Don’t panic
head lice are not dangerous or known to spread disease, they are just a nuisance - a big nuisance, but not dangerous! And head lice are extremely common - the second most common communicable disease among school-aged children after the common cold. Lice just happen, and they happen a lot.
Separate the infected person & their belongings
until you can determine whether other members of the home are also infested. Lice can ONLY be transmitted through direct head-to-hair contact with an infected person (BTW, your pets cannot get or give lice), or their belongings such as hats, helmets, hair brushes, pillows/headrests etc. However, lice can only live away from a host food source (blood) for 48 hours.
