*Special Announcement*
An outbreak of lice within the FCT.
If you are a woman or a man that keep bushy hair please pay attention to this.
*Background;*
Lice feed on human blood and can be found on the human head, body and p***c area. The female louse produces a sticky substance that firmly attaches each egg to the base of a hair shaft. Eggs hatch in 6 to 9 days. You can get lice by coming into contact with either lice or their eggs.
*Treatment;*
Permethrin is safe and effective when used as directed. Permethrin kills live lice but not unhatched eggs.
Permethrin may continue to kill newly hatched lice for several days after treatment. A second treatment often is necessary on day 9 to kill any newly hatched lice before they can produce new eggs.
*Dealing with the scare;*
Do head lice spread disease? Head lice should not be considered as a medical or public health hazard. Head lice are not known to spread disease. Head lice can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep.
*Recommendation;*
Please ask something to carefully check your hair today, you might have them in abundance on your head without being aware of it, if you have it please follow treatment procedure to avoid further loss of blood.
