Lice

continued from page 4 you cause infestation " said Myers "One single lady who had relatives far away took a flight and got head lice on the plane It's not that you're sharing things Head lice has been on the rise because of selfies when people put their heads together for a picture "

The State of Texas changed the law wheras if students of public schools were found to have nits in their hair, they weren't required to send them home

"There are schools that do send them home if they have live bugs and then there are schools that don't " said Myers "In Houston, it was a problem because they didn't For the last two years, we've seen a tremendous rise in the amount of head lice because of the laws has changed "

Myers says that the schools get a certain amount of money from the state per day per student and if they are absent, that cuts in to the budget. Because of that reason, they are not sending the students home as before

"That affects their numbers and what a school might get financially" said Myers "It has definitely increased the head lice over the last couple of years "

Myers says most of her customers have been referral based because the business is so new She travels to the home of the person who has head lice and treats them at their convenient location

The stereotype of head lice victims is that they are dirty Myers says that the more clean the hair is, the more easy it is for the lice to lay eggs

"They lay up to 10 eggs per day, but it's in groups They might lay four or five eggs and then feed and rest and then lay another four or five eggs " said Myers "They'll do this every day until the day they die "

Girls tend to get lice easier than boys Men who have very little head on their head can have nits and lice will even nest in beards Extreme cases might find head lice in eyebrows or eye lashes, but Myers has yet to see that

"A lot of people go in to freak out mode when they hear they have head lice " says Myers "I tell them 'you're okay' If the infestation is bad enough then they may have some infections "

Head lice does not live anywhere but on humans They do not burrow to get under the skin, but just live in the hairs on the head due to warmth They are not seasonal and is a constant issue year round

"People don't want to talk about it " said Myers "There's such a stigma People don't want to admit they've had head lice because they immediately think, 'oh I'm dirty.' That's not the case at all We encourage people to tell their friends and teachers to make them aware "
