Sea lice, or marine parasites, are typically contracted by coming into contact with infected water, particularly in regions where certain fish species are present. They can attach to the skin and feed on the host's bodily fluids, often causing irritation. Swimmers and surfers are especially at risk during warmer months when these parasites are more prevalent. To reduce the risk, avoid swimming in areas known for sea lice outbreaks and consider wearing protective clothing.
