Why is it common for children to have lice but rare for adults to have lice?
In: 7
As adults, we all tend to maintain our personal space. Kids tend to get much closer to each other (and us!) which is why when an adult gets lice, it’s usually from a child in their care, and not from another adult. We also tend to act more quickly once we know we’ve got lice, whereas kids don’t necessarily think to tell us their head is itching straight away and might interact with / infect a lot of other kids before we notice.
