It thrives in the roots of our hair, proliferates fast, and sucks out blood in the head. When this happens, it may produce wounds on the scalp and can eventually lead to a bacterial infection,\u201d he said, per the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/filipinotimes.net\/feature\/2018\/01\/11\/viral-army-head-lice-crawling-trike-drivers-shirt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Filipino Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Recasata added that treatment is simple, requiring only a special shampoo that costs around P500 per bottle. However, untreated lice infestations can escalate, and Dr. Enrique Collantes from Derma Clinic warned that severe cases might lead to anemia and malnutrition due to the lice feeding on the host\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/head-lice-and-nits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Health Service<\/a>, head lice spread through direct contact with an infected person or by sharing personal items like combs, brushes, and hats. Lice can also live on upholstered furniture, bedding, and towels for a short period, further spreading the infestation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-155288\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/09\/16092515\/Screenshot-2024-09-16-at-10.21.58.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"716\" height=\"1232\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Facebook.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To avoid lice, it\u2019s recommended to wash clothes and bedding in hot water, vacuum floors, and soak hair brushes in hot water for five to ten minutes.
