Head lice are not a microbe; they are small parasitic insects belonging to the species Pediculus humanus capitis. These ectoparasites infest the human scalp and feed on blood, causing itching and discomfort. Unlike microbes such as bacteria and viruses, head lice are visible to the naked eye and are transmitted primarily through close personal contact or sharing personal items like hats or combs.
