is it normal for a 13 year old girl to get head lice?!

Age has nothing to do with whether someone gets lice or not.....it depends on who you have contact with. Check out this website regarding head lice--too much good information to repeat:

It's normal to get head lice at any age, there isn't a certain age group that you have to be in to get them, adults get them too >.<

Define normal. It's normal to acquire lice if she was around other people with lice.

Yes, it is perfectly normal.

I had it when I was younger

I had it when I was adolescent, and again when I was an adult.

Had a letter in my Grandsons school bag yesterday. Yes headlice can attack every age even adults.

No. If this is happening to you you should go to the er and get it treated!!

I never saw a human immune to them.
