At our lice treatment centers, customers come in daily with questions like, “My pharmacist told me lice can jump six feet. Is that true?” Or “I read on the internet that you can kill lice with mouthwash.” Or “My hairdresser said if I use plenty of gel, mousse, and hair spray I won’t get lice.” There are so many myths about lice circulating in communities on and off the internet. And trust us, we’ve heard every one of those myths, hundreds of times. So we decided to pen an article about the common misconceptions about head lice to help shed light on the truth about lice.
