Summers are here and that means it’s time to head down to the beach, attend weekend parties with friends, and live life to its fullest!
It means dyeing our hair funky colors, styling it the way we want, and spending our days relaxing.
But that’s just
one side of summers. Summer comes with its own magic but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with its own problems.
Head lice happen to be one of these problems.
Most people believe that head lice are a winter problem. But head lice actually thrive during the summers. How is that possible in this heat?
Lice Thrive in Humidity
Lice, like several other species of bugs, thrive in humidity. The more humid it is, the easier it is for them to breed.
Studies show that humid temperatures are perfect for lice to breed and lay eggs. The humidity helps the nits hatch. We also tend to wash our hair often during the summers. The water washes away toxins from the scalp, making it easier for lice to feed on the nutrients provided by the scalp.
Water Helps Circulate Blood
Another theory is that because we drink more water during summers, lice have access to more blood and nutrients. Water helps circulate blood and this in turn helps lice easily suck the blood from your scalp.
Your Skin is Better during Summers
During the winters, you’re constantly worried about dandruff, rough skin, and an irritated scalp. This affects head lice too. It’s inconvenient for lice to roam around because flakes will get in the way.
Secondly, during the winters, your scalp produces more oil to compensate for the dryness. This stops lice from being able to sink their claws into your scalp.
During summers, because you’re drinking more water and keeping yourself hydrated, your skin starts improving. This means you no longer have to deal with an irritated scalp either. This makes it easier for lice to roam around and suck human blood.
