Hello. Thank you for your message.

Head lice usually spread from one person to another by close head-to-head contact or contact with an infested person's grooming tools. Hair lice can pass from person to person when people share personal items, such as combs, towels, clothing, hats, and hairbrushes. Lice are not spread by dogs, cats, or other pets.
