Hey guys, it’s Pete The Lice Guy, and Welcome back to “Ask The Expert”, where I answer your questions about head lice and hopefully alleviate your fears along the way.  

Let’s get started! Today’s Question:  

“Is Head Lice a Parasite?”

Head lice is in fact a Parasitic Insect.  They cannot complete their life-cycle without exploiting a suitable host.  Unfortunately us humans are that host!

The good news, though, if there is such a thing, by needing a host to survive, head lice cannot live in your home. 

Although, head lice may creep you out at the thought, and especially at their sight, they are completely harmless.
