Is it possible to get lice from swimming with. . .?!


Question:

Is it possible to get lice from swimming with. . .?

. . . Someone who has lice. My friends little sister had lice. I went swimming with them and 2 days later they told me her head was full of lice and nits. Is it at all possible any bugs could have came off of her head in the pool and got in my hair? Can they survive in the pool with the chemicals? I'm so lice-phobic. I hate it. Just the thought of something living in my hair freaks me out.


Answers:

Nope its not possible, the lice would have died due to the chemicals in the water, whilst the eggs attached to your friends sister's hair would still remain healthy and hatch later!

So your pretty much safe, from her head lice unless you hug her, because lice do not swim, jump or fly!
