Head Lice and Family Close Contact: Practical Information

Head Lice and Family Close Contact: Practical Information

When families are researching head lice, the most useful information is practical, clear, and based on the current product label. This guide explains head lice and family close contact: practical information in a straightforward way for U.S. parents, caregivers, and shoppers. It is educational information and does not replace the current Drug Facts label or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Head lice most often spread through direct hair-to-hair contact. Check relevant close contacts rather than assuming every person or shared object is affected, and avoid sharing personal hair items while managing a confirmed case.
