GETTING HELP TREATMENT FOR HEAD LICE
LICE ARE.
Lice are tiny bloodsucking insects that are usually found at the base hair near the scalp. Lice can be found not only in the head but also in the body and in areas near the groin. Only the head lice are much smaller. Body lice provide as sources of individual pathogens. The head lice can be seen on the hairs of the head, the body lice on clothes, and pubic lice on hairs near the groin.
