Child Dies After Severe Lice Infestation, Prompting Urgent Warnings
A devastating case has shocked the public after a young girl died from complications linked to an extreme lice infestation.
Medical experts say the child developed severe anemia from months of lice bites,
which depleted her blood iron and led to cardiac arrest, the immediate cause of death.
Investigators described the infestation as “among the worst they had encountered,”
highlighting how prolonged neglect can turn a treatable condition into a fatal one.
The child’s mother, filled with remorse, urged other parents to take warning signs seriously:
“Do not wait, do not ignore suspected infestations, and insist on professional medical evaluation and treatment.”
Authorities have filed charges of medical neglect and child cruelty as investigations continue.
Health officials stress that early attention to minor symptoms like itching or fatigue can prevent such tragedies — a painful reminder that vigilance can save lives.
