According to estimates. 6-12 million people. mostly children between the ages of 3 and 11. get head lice each year in the United States. This is a significant number. and the problem is not going away any time soon. In fact. head lice are becoming more common and more difficult to treat due to the development of lice with resistance to treatment.
Children are particularly susceptible to getting lice due to their frequent close physical contact with each other. This is why head lice are commonly reported in schools and daycare centers.
To prevent lice. it's important to be aware of the risk factors and take precautions.
