Head lice and their nits (eggs) are visible to the naked eye, are off white to brown in color, and are generally found in the hair on the head. They are transferred from person to person by body contact and by sharing combs, hats, clothing, etc. Once your child becomes louse free care should be taken that the child does not become re-infested by their playmates at school or at home. All infested places and people should be treated for head lice at the same time.
