If you have body lice, you may notice tiny red bites on your skin, especially around the waistline, armpits, and groin. These bites often appear in clusters and can be very itchy.
Here are some additional signs of body lice:
- Tiny white or gray lice may be visible on your skin or clothing.
- Nits, or lice eggs, may be found attached to your hair shafts.
- Scratching can lead to secondary infections.
It's important to note that body lice are different from head lice, and they typically don't live in hair. They prefer to live in clothing and bedding.
If you suspect you have body lice, it's important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
