Head lice. Even the mention of the words and mere
thought of those
pesky varmints makes anyone
shake with disgust. Formerly in days of old
it
was common for most people to have them. The
earliest records of
head lice treatment in the
United States is from the early 1800’s.
However,
in our modern times the majority of cases in
America are
caused by very close contact with
someone infested with lice or using
items like
combs or brushes that another person has used who
has head
lice. Children are often the victims,
especially when school is in
session.
