What is pediculosis: description, causes of lice

Pediculosis
When talking about pediculosis, you need to understand that it is a parasitic disease. It is caused by tiny insects - lice. They settle on the hairy parts of the body and feed on blood, actively reproducing.

Important! Parasites do not have the ability to fly or jump like fleas from host to host. Infection occurs only through direct contact with the carrier.

Parasites are divided into three types:

• head;
• pubic;
• payable.

The first two types of parasites live on the hairy parts of the body. Body lice are found on clothing and get on the skin when an infested item is worn.

Symptoms of the disease:

• severe itching;
• wounds on the body;
• rash;
• insomnia;
• irritability;
• bad feeling.

The main cause of the disease is direct contact with the carrier. It can be:

• communication in kindergarten, school and other institutions;
• use of personal belongings of an infected person;
• poorly processed instruments (for example, in hairdressing and beauty salons).

The greatest risk of infection in humans is:

• with weakened immunity;
• living in unfavorable conditions;

Effect of the drug

Scallop

A necessary element in the fight against parasites. There are a huge number of combs: metal, wood, plastic and even electric. All of them have long teeth with a very small gap between them for better removal of lice and nits. The teeth have a special spiral cut.

Plastic combs can be purchased at any pharmacy . However, they are not very reliable: they bend easily and do not have notches that will help with combing.

Wooden combs are stronger, but also do not have notches, so they are ineffective.
