Head 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. Because lice cannot jump or fly, they crawl from one person to another, using their claws to grab onto hair. 90% of all cases of lice are from head to head contact. Increasing head lice cases are due to head to head contact with selfies and looking at handheld devices while heads are touching.
