Body Lice Symptoms to Look Out For
Body lice are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They are typically passed by close personal contact, and infestations can cause intense itching. Signs of infestation vary, but there are a few things to look out for if you suspect you may have body lice.
- Itching - Lice bites can cause itching, particularly around clothing seams.
- Irritations - You may observe red bumps, sores, or other irritations on any part of your body that may have been in contact with the lice.
- Eggs - Greyish-white eggs may be found in seams of clothing or other tight spots on the body.
- Live lice - If you spot a small insect crawling through your clothing or on your body, it may be a live louse or its nymph.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be a good idea to consult a doctor as soon as possible. They can provide you with information and treatment options.
