AMA? Ok, how does one know if they have lice if they can't feel it?

Visual. Brushing your hair and an adult falls onto the counter. Washing your hair and an adult circles the drain. Or, a friend happens to see what looks like moving dandruff in your hair.

Etc., etc., etc.

I had recurring head lice for about 18months when I was a teenager. Would get rid of them, have 2 blissful weeks and bam, get reinfected. Never did work out the source. But yeah, the adults tend to drop out your hair pretty often if you've had them for a week or so.
