Lice infestation on the human body is very common. Certain lice such as body lice can transmit diseases, such as typhus, relapsing fever and trench fever. Most of the time the carriers just suffer from itching.

Lice die if they are away from a human's head or body for more than 2 days. Lice are 1-3mm long and cling to the hair shaft.

Three different types of lice infest people: 

• Head lice 
• Body lice 
• Pubic lice

We do not treat for the above lice. Advice can be sought from your local doctors, pharmacy or Health Centres/Clinics.
