Frequently asked questions and answers
What should I do if head lice have been found in my child?
If your child - or any other family member - has been diagnosed with lice, acting quickly is most important. Because only those who quickly take action against lice can prevent the plague from spreading further. If you use suitable products, e.g. from the pharmacy, you can get rid of the lice quickly. With Hedrin ® Once, for example, a product is available that physically combats lice and lice eggs. At the same time, it is harmless to humans.
Is it true that head lice can transmit disease?
No. Head lice are uncomfortable but completely harmless. In contrast to other parasites (such as ticks), lice in Germany and Europe usually do not transmit any diseases. However, an infestation can at least favor certain diseases. This can be the case, for example, if vigorous scratching of the itchy stitches causes wounds through which bacteria penetrate the body.
Can lice actually jump from head to head?
No, lice don't jump from one head of hair to the other. Since lice cannot jump, fly or even swim, transmission usually only takes place when the parasites crawl from head to head. In individual cases, however, it is also conceivable that the data can be transmitted using items that are used jointly (e.g. hairbrushes, hats, etc.).
Do I have to inform the school or kindergarten management that my child has lice?
Yes, according to the Infection Protection Act (Section 34, Paragraph 5 IfSG), parents or guardians are obliged to report an infestation with lice to the management of the community facility visited by the child. This then takes steps to prevent the infestation from spreading. When your child is allowed to visit the facility again is handled differently. The best thing to do is to contact the management of the facility directly.
* Hedrin ®Once can already work within one application. However, a follow-up exam must be done a week after application to ensure that no lice or nits have been missed. If live lice are detected, the treatment can be repeated.
