Lice originate in the wild by infesting the fur or feathers of animals. They survive in their natural habitat by feeding on the blood of their host and reproducing quickly. Lice have evolved to have specialized mouthparts for piercing the skin of their host and sucking blood, allowing them to survive and thrive in their environment.
Lice typically do not live in the sinus cavity; they primarily inhabit the scalp, hair, and sometimes other areas of the body, such as the body and pubic region, depending on the type of lice. Adult head lice can survive for about 30 days on a person's scalp, while eggs (nits) can remain viable for up to 10 days before hatching. If lice do come into contact with the sinus cavity, they would likely not survive long outside their typical habitat.
Oil suffocates lice by blocking their airways, making it difficult for them to breathe. It also helps loosen the nits (lice eggs) from the hair shaft, making them easier to comb out. Oil can be an effective natural treatment for lice infestations.
Lice need to feed off of human skin to survive, because they are parasites and can only survive off of another being. It is a common misconception that they can survive alone. Without a site of human skin to feed off of, lice will only survive for 48 hrs and then they will die.
