Yes, some parasites that affect guinea pigs can also cause itching in people. These parasites include mites and lice that can be transmitted between guinea pigs and humans, leading to symptoms such as itching, redness, and skin irritation. It is important to consult a healthcare provider if you suspect that you have come into contact with guinea pig parasites.
It is possible that the small yellow creatures are mites or lice. These parasites can cause discomfort and skin irritation to your guinea pig. It is important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment to protect your guinea pig's health.
much like your standard hens' egg. If you find egg shaped objects in your guinea pig's fur, crack them, if they have a white and a yolk as per standard eggs, they're probably guinea pig lice eggs. (may i also recommend soft boiling them, with tiny toast soldiers)

No, the human strain of lice can not be transmitted to guinea pigs and vice versa.

Generally, no. The lice that guinea pigs get is mostly species-specific. This means that only guinea pigs, or, quite possibly, other small rodents. Check your other small pets or other cage mates because they might have lice also. If your pet does have lice, immediately take your pet to the vet because guinea pig lice is usually blood-sucking and can do damage in the long-run.
Lice do not generally live in animal fur. I'm 99% sure that parasites that live on guinea pigs will not transfer to human skin.
