No. "HEAD LICE" Not saltwater lice. Lice like hair and sufficate from water and oils. They can not be transfered from anything but people or hair brushes.

Can lice go through sheets?

This question is categorized under head lice. To answer that question, the answer is very likely no. Head lice are about the size of a sesame seed. Most sheets sold today are woven much more tightly than that to allow them to go through sheets. There is a SMALL chance head lice may transfer from one person to another if sharing a pillow or a fabric that has touched an infested person's head. The probability is minimal, but items such as sheets should be washed and dried at the highest possible temperature. I am not an expert on body lice or pubic lice, so I can only comment on head lice.
