Banish head lice with Linicin head lice treatments

November 7th, 2011

Head lice can be an annoying and uncomfortable problem, especially for young children. They feed on blood from the scalp and love the warm, humid conditions close to your head. They most like to be situated behind the ears, along the hairline and at the back of the neck.

Head lice feed on blood which they suck through a needle-like feeding tube – this is not noticeable though. It’s the saliva or poo from the lice that can irritate and cause the itching. That’s when you’ll spot your child scratching! Other signs of head lice are (obviously) feeling something moving in the hair, red bite marks on the scalp, white nits on the scalp or in the hair (including empty nits) and crawling lice of course. » Read more: Banish head lice with Linicin head lice treatments
