Can selfies really spread head lice?

Health experts say there are many ways kids can spread head lice, from sharing headphones to swapping hats and other clothing.

But a selfie? Lice Lifters thinks so.

Head-lice treatment centers across the country, including Lice Lifters, say selfies are contributing to the spread of the tiny parasites among teens and college students.

Lice are spread by head-to-head contact or sharing items that touch the head. Everyone is getting tight for a picture and holding their cameras out to do selfies. When we see the head-to-head and hair-to-hair contact, that’s how kids can pass it along.

No need to stop taking selfies, just make sure you do head checks more often.  You can do them at home of go to a Lice Lifters for a head check.
