They typically spread when you share objects like a comb or hat or when you have head-to-head contact with someone. Itchiness is the primary symptom, and the infestation usually lasts seven to 10 days. “If someone ignores it, it can lead to infections and open sores,” Isom warns. “The insects are going to keep biting the same spot, and the person is going to keep scratching the spot.” The lice can also lay eggs and multiply, Isom says. Isom suggests parents and teachers be vigilant about lice. Check your child when they
