HEAD LICE
DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
Lice can be seen and identified by
looking closely. Using disposable gloves, inspect the head of anyone
who might have been exposed to lice under a bright light. Full sun
or the brightest lights in your home during daylight hours work well.
A magnifying glass can also help.
Part the hair all the way down to the scalp in very small sections,
looking both for moving lice and eggs (nits). Inspect the entire
head this way. Look closely around the nape of the neck and ears,
the most common locations for eggs. Treatment is recommended if even
one egg is found.
The infestation may be confined to the scalp or may include the
surface of the body (body lice), including the groin area (pubic
lice). |
