Lice

Lice never appear just like that, and finding them on the head is in most cases the result of communication with not the biggest lovers of cleanliness and hygiene. As with any disease, preventing the appearance of lice is always easier and more effective than getting rid of them later. To prevent infection with lice, you need to know well where and how they appear, which we will talk about later.

Lice can dream of various things - from family discord and illness, to success in business and enrichment. Different dream books often ambiguously interpret both the lice themselves and different situations with them, but nevertheless, with the right approach, it is quite possible to correctly interpret a dream with these insects and draw the appropriate conclusions. You just need to understand the positions of the most authoritative dream books and in the context of the dream itself. Let's try and do this...

Lovers of traditional healing have been arguing for a long time about whether there are subcutaneous lice in humans. Indeed, some diseases have such symptoms, for which it is quite possible to suspect subcutaneous lice. But you should know about who really causes such symptoms - at least just in case, so that when necessary, take action in time.

The diseases that human head lice carry are not only extremely unpleasant, but also dangerous.They are able to acquire the character of epidemics, and at one time led to the death of many thousands of people. Even today, the head louse continues to be a dangerous carrier of many diseases. Which ones? Let's talk about this...

Many people are even more afraid of nits than they are of lice. And the word itself is much more unpleasant, and people have rather sad associations with nits - kerosene, ridicule at school, a bag on their heads. But at the same time, nits, generally speaking, do not torment a person, do not tolerate diseases, and even in most cases are not transmitted from an infected person to a healthy one. Why are they so afraid?

Lice infestation can occur almost anywhere, and usually the first reaction of a person to their appearance is where they came from in the first place. If lice on the head were found due to constant bites and itching (and this is what often happens), this means that the parasites have settled there for a very long time, and some effort will be required to remove them. It is only important to quickly start the right treatment, without waiting for serious complications. So, let's see where the lice on the head come from and how to properly treat them ...

Head lice are distinguished by very high reproduction rates even for insects. Various factors contribute to this - the small size of these parasites, very nutritious food and comfortable living conditions. It is not surprising that just a few weeks after infection, they already populate the entire head in abundance. What does the life cycle of lice look like and how quickly does it proceed?

The incubation period and, in general, the timing of reproduction of head lice largely depend on the ambient temperature. Accordingly, the lifestyle of the person himself affects how quickly a whole population of insects will develop from several insects that have fallen on their heads.

It is unlikely that anyone has met lice living and breeding outside the human body. This is not surprising: lice are such highly specialized parasites that they practically do not tolerate getting on the hair of other animals (with the exception of certain species of monkeys), and even more so - conditions outside the surface of the body of a living being. They live here for a very short time, but they cannot reproduce at all. We will talk about how sensitive lice are to changes in the conditions of existence and how long they can live without a person.

Lice are transmitted easily and quickly. In a large group of people, especially children, who are not burdened by strict rules of business etiquette, the presence of lice in one person almost always means transferring them to a significant part of the rest. And in some cases, lice can be picked up even where, it would seem, they should not be in any way. Read more about this in the article about ways to transmit lice.
