Types of Lice

Lice are small, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of their host and can infest both humans and animals. While all lice share similar traits—like clinging to hair or fur and reproducing rapidly—there are distinct types that target different hosts and body areas. The most common types of lice include:

1. Head Lice

These are the most familiar type, especially in school-aged children. Head lice live on the scalp and feed on human blood. They are spread primarily through head-to-head contact and can cause intense itching and discomfort.

2. Body Lice

Unlike head lice, body lice live in clothing and bedding, moving to the skin only to feed. They are more commonly associated with poor hygiene and can transmit serious diseases like typhus and trench fever.

3. Pubic Lice (Crabs)

These lice infest the coarse hair of the pubic region but can also be found in armpits, eyebrows, or eyelashes. Pubic lice are usually spread through close personal contact, including sexual activity.

4. Animal Lice

Various species of lice also infest animals such as dogs, cats, poultry, and livestock. While these lice don’t typically transfer to humans, they can cause significant discomfort and health issues for pets and farm animals.
