What are the signs and symptoms of body lice and parasites

[DigitalExplorer]

I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users about the signs and symptoms of body lice and parasites. I think I may have them, but I'm not sure. I'm experiencing some itching, but I'm not sure if that's due to the lice and parasites or something else. Has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms before and can tell me what to look out for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Signs and Symptoms of Body Lice and Parasites

Body lice are tiny insects that live in and on clothing and bedding, and feed on human blood. They can cause itching and discomfort, and can also spread diseases such as typhus and relapsing fever. Parasites are organisms that live on or inside another organism, and can cause a range of illnesses.

Itching: One of the most common symptoms of body lice is itching. This is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva of the lice. Itching can range from mild to severe, and may be worse at night.

Rash: In some cases, body lice can cause a rash. This is usually red and itchy and may be accompanied by small bumps or blisters.

Infections: Body lice can cause skin infections, and can also spread diseases such as typhus and relapsing fever.

Parasite Symptoms: Symptoms of parasite infestation can vary depending on the type of parasite. Common signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Other symptoms may include rashes, itchy skin, and changes in appetite.
