Head lice are tiny insects. They are about the size of a sesame seed (2â3 mm long). Their bodies are usually pale and gray, but color may vary. One lice is called a louse. Head lice feed on tiny amounts of blood from the scalp. They usually survive less than a day if not on a person's scalp. Lice lay and attach their eggs to hair close to the scalp. The eggs and their shell casings are called nits.
Occasionally, head lice may be acquired from contact with clothing (such as hats, scarves, and coats) or other personal items (such as brushes or towels) that belong to an infested person. Preschool and elementary-age children (ages 3-11) and their families are infested most often.he cause of head lice is an infestation with a parasitic insect known as Pediculus humanus capitis. This parasite is more commonly known as head lice -- so both the condition and the parasite that causes it go by the same name. A head louse (head lice is plural) is a small, wingless insect.
