  1. head lice

    Head lice are tiny parasitic insects that infest the human scalp, feeding on the host's blood. They are particularly prevalent among school children and spread through direct contact with the hair of an infested person. Head lice lay their eggs (also known as nits) on the hair shafts close to the scalp, which cause itchiness and inflammation. Despite common misconceptions, the presence of head lice is not related to personal hygiene levels.
