All lice and parasite in that family feed off of human blood.
Their claws grasp the scalp (or skin, if it is body lice) firmly. They have tiny hooks that surround their mouth that break into the skin, thus they are receiving the blood. They feed several times a day but do not become engorged like ticks do.
