Body Lice – Infestations
Being in the business that takes you a lot of homes, we encounter new to old houses, and houses that are kept absolutely pristine to all out hoarders. Occasionally, we encounter homeowners that live in somewhat dirty and unkempt conditions. Recently, one such individual had body lice, hence the body lice blog. Body lice infestations are typically found in areas of poor hygiene. An infestation of these lice occurs when a certain type of lice invade the body and clothing. These lice are parasitic insects that feed only on human blood. Good hygiene and washing of clothing and bed linens is usually enough to treat and prevent continued infestations of body lice. Body lice are larger than other types of lice and they lay their eggs and leave their “waste” on skin and in clothing. Symptoms of a body lice infestation include intense itching, rashes, red bumps on the skin and darkened skin. These insects only crawl; they don’t jump or fly and are the size of a sesame seed.
