In general, patients are more at risk from typhus, trench fever, rickettsial infections, and other diseases spread by lice than from the lice themselves.
Body lice infestation, also known as pediculosis, occurs when small parasitic insects called body lice infest the body and clothing of a person. These lice feed on human blood and can cause intense itching, red bumps, and skin irritation. Treatment typically involves washing affected clothing and bedding, as well as using medicated lotions or shampoos to kill the lice.
Lice infestation is confirmed by finding live lice or their eggs (nits) in the hair. This can be done by visually inspecting the hair and scalp. Sometimes a healthcare provider may use a fine-tooth comb to help identify lice.
A large number of lice can be indicative of an infestation. It is important to treat both the affected individual and their environment to prevent further spread. Consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options.
Yes, it is possible to get lice more than once. If you come into contact with someone who has lice or objects that carry lice, you can get re-infested. Make sure to take proper precautions to prevent re-infestation.
Yes, lice can be drowned. They cannot survive underwater for long periods of time. However, it is important to note that drowning lice alone may not be sufficient to completely eliminate an infestation, as other treatments may be necessary.

No, infestation of the hair and skin with lice is known as pediculosis. Impetigo is a bacterial infection of the skin that typically presents with honey-colored crusts.
No. I would say "Head lice is a common parasitic infection."
Lice infestation is a serious public health problem because some lice can carry organisms that cause other diseases, including relapsing fever, trench fever, and epidemic typhus.
