Not at all. Head lice are head lice and body lice are body lice. They are two separate parasites with identical images. Body lice tend to be found more on those who don't change clothing or don't shower. Head lice can be contracted from another person who has it. Head lice are more attracted to clean har so if you get them you are not dirty at all.
