It would be unusual for head lice to kill anyone, usually they just cause a lot of itching. However, it is true that typhus, which is a serious disease, can be spread by the bites of lice or fleas. So in theory, yes, lice could prove to be fatal.

How do you get rid of forehead mites?
First, I'm assuming you're referring to forehead mites that infest human beings. There are two specific types of "forehead mites", one is Demodex folliculorum this type of mite burrows into the area between the hair folicle and the skin. The other type is Demodex Brevis which resides in the sebaceous glands adjacent to hair follicles. It should be clarified that between 50-75% of all human beings have these parasites and in the vast majority of cases they cause no harm, but recent studies point to a link between forehead mites and rosacea Currently, to the best of my knowledge, there is no affective over the counter treatment for these critters. A dermatologist can test for these parasites and prescribe an anti-parasitic or insecticide like permethrin. The medical community believes that there is no way to irradicate these creatures completely, and if they're not causing issues, and you aren't immuno-compromised, why bother?
