Adults can get lice just like children, but why is it that young kids are more likely to have infested scalps than their parents? Well, there are a few factors that make children more vulnerable to head lice.
Children Share More Than Adults
When was the last time you swapped hats with someone or borrowed a comb or brush from a co-worker? Kids are constantly sharing clothing, hairbrushes, hats, and other accessories. This provides a perfect mode of transportation for lice. Head lice cannot jump or fly, so don’t worry about that – but they can hitchhike on other objects to move from one person’s head to another.
Kids Attend School in Close Quarters
Young people spend most of their time surrounded by other people their age. Sure, adults sit in offices and travel in small spaces with others, but they still don’t spend as much time surrounded by other people. Your son or daughter comes into constant contact with other kids at school, and this automatically heightens their risk of contracting lice.
Children Attend Camps and Sleepovers
Like school, camps and sleepovers provide the perfect environment for lice. Kids may be borrowing brushes, sleeping in close proximity and so on, which makes it easy for head lice to move to a new scalp. Adults are much less likely to share common sleeping areas with people who aren’t in their immediate family.
