Louse
Louse is a parasitic insect from a family which comprises 5000 different species. These wingless parasites live on plants, birds, and mammals. In humans, lice infest both head and body. It leads to intense skin irritation and diseases called relapsing fever and typhus.
There are two types of louse – chewing and sucking louse. As their name indicates, chewing lice feed on skin and sucking lice feed on blood. This parasite is spread by contact of items used by an already infested person such as comb or clothes. The intense skin irritation itself is the most irritating part of louse infection.
