These things are wingless, can’t fly, swim or jump. Transfer from one person to another is through direct “hair to hair” contact as I understand things. Going from my understanding it would seem that anyone who is sensitive to exposing their hair in public is less likely to pass on or catch head lice.

It doesn’t have to be head to head contact, although that is the most likely way to catch nits.

There is the proxy contact. Wearing the headgear of an infected kid is likely to transfer the eggs as is using the same comb or brush.
