Can pubic lice grow on hair? Prevention is important

There are three types of human lice, the most common being head lice and pubic lice. Although both are human lice, they will not infect each other. Therefore, there is no such thing as pubic lice growing on the head. If there are lice on the head, they are only head lice. The most easily transmitted way is through contact with the patient's head, comb, hairpins, hat, headscarf, etc.

Pubic lice will not migrate to the head and become head lice. Although they are both lice, they are two different types of lice. Head lice live on the head, hiding in the hair. Pubic lice are lice that live on the pubic hair and body hair around the anus. Head lice are larger than pubic lice. Head lice are elongated in shape, while pubic lice are round in shape. Pubic lice generally do not leave the pubic hair and perianal area, but if people have sexual intercourse or close contact, pubic lice will leave along the hair and be transmitted to the other person. Pubic lice can also spread infectious diseases such as relapsing fever and typhus. Therefore, it is also very important to prevent pubic lice.

Treatments for head lice:

1. Sulfur ointment can only provide relief but not cure the disease. Symptoms are prone to recurrence if discontinued, and generally require 1-2 months. Apply 3-5 times daily. Poor effect

2. Lindane cream can also relieve the symptoms of pubic lice, but it is highly toxic and cannot cure the disease. It is generally required to be used 3-5 times a day for 20-30 consecutive days. Poor effect

3. Use Kangwang shampoo, the effect is average

4. Use a comb (a comb as thin as hair that is used to comb out lice and lice eggs) to wash your hair first and then comb it in the right direction. Use it for 4-5 days after washing your hair every day. The effect is very good, but the comb is hard to buy. It is only available in the countryside.

5. Follow the path to find the lice. Wash your hair first. The lice will be unable to move when wet, so they will come out to breathe. The lice will appear on the surface of the hair, on the tips of the hair, and at the temples. The effect is very good.

6. Use white vinegar to wash your hair. Wet your hair, scalp, back of the ears, and back of the neck with white vinegar, wrap them tightly and cover them for 5 to 10 minutes. The lice will die in large numbers after being fumigated by the vinegar, and then you can wash your hair. It is not clear whether white vinegar can kill lice eggs.

How to prevent head lice:

1. Do not use other people’s toiletries.

2 Develop good cleaning habits and wash your hair frequently, at least once a week.

3 Avoid contact with people suffering from head lice to avoid infection.

4 Active and effective treatment and prevention of pubic lice.

5 Try to keep your hair dry. Do not cover or tie your hair after being caught in the rain or washing it, so that your hair can dry quickly and avoid creating a warm and humid environment for lice. Maybe this is the reason why some people get lice because of poor personal hygiene.
