Thankfully, lice are not effective jumpers. In most cases direct contact is needed -- unlike many other infestations. But it could be direct contact with hair, a brush, a car seat, a stuffed animal, or the sofa. Usually the couple of lice that cause the infestations don't cause many symptoms themselves, but they begin to lay eggs -- day! Each crop of eggs hatches about six to 10 days later. Some people can have lice for months before they start to itch, because the itching is an allergic reaction to the lice stool.
