REMOVAL OF EGGS, NYMPHS AND LICE FROM A 4 YEAR OLD BOYS HEAD.

 This is what has been removed on one swoop of a 4 year old boys head.

The size of the nit, eggs and lice has been exaggerated, due to the size of the photo. But, the size of the
critter is not as important as the amount of eggs, nits and lice that have been found.    This infestation is probably not more than one or two weeks old but imagine if all of those eggs hatch, or the nymphs are allowed to grow their legs in the next few days, how many eggs will they Lay????   If you have 2 or more children they will probably all become infested and not long after, you too will be scratching because of the close contact we all have with our children.    Something needs to be done now!!!!  Dont wait!!! Call us!!!

Head Lice - Life Cycle

The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is an obligate ectoparasite of humans.^[1] Head lice are wingless insects spending their entire life on the human scalp and feeding exclusively on human blood.^[1] Humans are the only known hosts of this specific parasite, while chimpanzees host a closely related species, Pediculus schaeffi. Other species of lice infest most orders of mammals and all orders of birds.^[1]

Like all lice, head lice differ from other hematophagic ectoparasites such as the flea in that lice spend their entire life cycle on a host.^[2] Head lice cannot fly, and their short stumpy legs render them incapable of jumping, or even walking efficiently on flat surfaces.^[2]

The non-disease-carrying head louse differs from the related disease-carrying body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus) in preferring to attach eggs to scalp hair rather than to clothing. The two subspecies are morphologically almost identical but do not normally interbreed, although they will do so in laboratory conditions. From genetic studies, they are thought to have diverged as subspecies about 30,000–110,000 years ago, when many humans began to wear a significant amount of clothing.^[3][4] A much more distantly related species of hair-clinging louse, the pubic or crab louse (Pthirus pubis), also infests humans. It is visually different from the other two species and is much closer in appearance to the lice which infest other primates.^[5] Lice infestation of any part of the body is known as pediculosis.^[6]

Head lice (especially in children) have been, and still are, subject to various eradication campaigns. However, and unlike body lice, head lice are not the vectors of any known diseases. Except for rare secondary infections that result from scratching at bites, head lice are harmless, and they have been regarded by some as essentially a cosmetic rather than a medical problem. It has even been suggested that head lice infections might be beneficial in helping to foster a natural immune response against lice which helps humans in defense against the far more dangerous body louse, which is capable of transmission of a number of dangerous diseases.^[7]
