Holiday Season Means Increase in Head Lice Cases in New York
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 16, 2015 -- Head lice spreads through contact—either head-to-head contact or via a surface or item that has come into contact with the head of a person who is currently experiencing an infestation - think upholstered seats and furniture, hats, combs, pillows and blankets. During the holiday season, we’re sitting on airplanes, sleeping on relatives’ sofas and perhaps sharing hats or hairbrushes. It isn’t hard to see why this parasite is on the move this time of year.
Now that the holidays are over, people will start to notice cases of head lice. This is due to the fact that it often takes at least a week for the itchy welts to develop, signaling an infestation. Prior to this, an individual may have an infestation in progress but does not realize it. The individual may still be able to pass lice to others despite having no discernible symptoms.
Head lice, while they are an irritating nuisance, are no cause for alarm. The key is to get rid of the infestation as quickly as possible to eliminate your own discomfort and to prevent spreading the parasite to others.
