'My sister who's a nurse came over to the house and I was scratching and I said will you take a look at my scalp? And she said obviously it's lice if it's itching you head.'
Marty, from 91x's 'Marty and Danielle in the Morning', knows all too well.
"My sister who's a nurse came over to the house and I was scratching and I said will you take a look at my scalp? And she said obviously it's lice if it's itching you head," explained Marty.In his case, Marty opted to call in a professional to help get rid of them. "It was one of those things where you have to just stay diligent through the process and eventually it went away," said Marty.She owns and operates Lice Doctors, an in-home lice treatment service.She says it's a combination of factors, including more close contact during the holidays and the fact that many schools opt to not send kids with nits, or lice eggs, home immediately.
"The reason for that is that too many kids were missing too much school and nits are not contagious only the bugs are contagious," said Sokoloff."Head lice are transmitted through head-to-head contact. It's very rare for it to be transmitted through a vector like a hat or a brush or a backpack," Sokoloff said."Contrary to what people think head lice like clean hair the reason for that is they can't grab hold of hair that is greasy.
