Head lice are spread from an infected person to an uninfected person by direct contact with the hair, sharing of combs, towels, clothes. Lice bites can make a person's scalp itchy and irritated. Most lice feed on blood several times a day, and they can survive up to 2 days off the scalp. Hope you got your answer.
