Are selfies causing the spread of head lice?
When people lean their heads together to pose for a selfie, they're capturing a shining moment and preserving it in pixels for posterity. They might be capturing something else too: head lice.
At Lice Lifters we have seen a dramatic uptick in the incidence of lice among young people, and we believe it is due, to all that head bumping for selfie snaps.
Head lice are spread through head-to-head contact. Lice don't jump or fly, so you actually have to touch heads. We ask a lot of questions and every teen admits that they are taking selfies every day. Whether it is selfies, sleepovers or just hanging out together – we have seen a rise in lice among older children.
