Lice can infest a person's hair and scalp by crawling from one person to another through close contact, such as sharing hats or brushes. They feed on blood from the scalp and lay eggs, or nits, which attach to the hair shafts. This can cause itching and discomfort for the person infested.

Can lice live on arms?
Lice primarily infest the scalp, but they can occasionally be found on other body parts, including arms, especially if they migrate from the scalp or if the individual has body lice. However, head lice do not typically live on arms, as they prefer the hair on the head. Body lice can live in clothing and may come into contact with the skin, including arms, but they are more commonly associated with infested clothing rather than directly residing on the skin. Regular hygiene and treatment can help eliminate lice infestations.
