Head Lice..

   Have you ever had head lice?  Well, if you have, then you know that it makes your scalp feel itchy and irritated.  You can get lice from sharing brushes, combs, and other hair accessories..  Most children from ages 3-11 get lice.  The life cycle of lice is about 3 weeks.  Eggs take 8-9 days to hatch.  In 10 days, 1 lice can produce up to 60 offspring.  Within 1 month, hundreds of lice can already be infested in a person's hair.  Do not try washing head lice out of your hair because they actually stick to clean hair better, so you have to go and buy a hair product that will kill off the lice.  If you want to prevent head lice, cut your hair often and wear it up while working out or any other time that you sweat.  Vacuum your room and wash your sheets and clothing frequently.
