Is it harder to get rid of lice in Israel than the US?

And it’s not my lice; however, I just learned that I missed coming back home with a head full of lice by a hair.
I’m getting itchy just thinking about it.
Health: Why? Is it because of the climate? They’ve probably gone through enough mutations to resist regular treatments?

So they can tell and beg mothers to check their kids’ heads, but can’t enforce a clean head policy. So that means that those mothers who do care have to regularly check and comb their kids’ hair to avoid infestations. If knits or bugs are found, a few very thorough combings with a fine tooth comb and lots of conditioner does the trick, without need of poisons and chemicals, which often don’t work 100% anyway.
In American, I know schools where they check heads in school and send infested kids home and do not let them back in until they are clean, so spreading infestations is less common.
