To one kind belong a head / wardrobe, very similar to each other. These parasites can give offspring after crossing between individuals. For nutrition, they can move through different parts of the body. The pubic louse has a number of its own individual traits, tk.belongs to a different genus.

Lifecycle of lice

For successful therapy, it is necessary to consider the life cycle of lice. This is necessary in order to evaluate when it is necessary to conduct repeated treatments with anti-neoplastic drugs.

The beginning of the reproductive cycle is the laying of eggs and attaching them to the hair. Within 8-10 days new parasites hatch. After that, they begin to grow up quickly, reaching puberty, and somewhere in two weeks produce egg laying.

The main clinical symptoms of the presence of lice:

• itching, which forces a person to always scratch the damaged places, sometimes accompanied by allergies;
• with prolonged pediculosis, the skin changes color, which is due to hemorrhages and inflammation, which is caused by substances from the saliva of lice that enter the skin when bitten;
• entangle and glue the hair, so-called koltun;
• pimples sometimes occur on the skin;
• small shiny balls of white color( eggs) on the hair, sometimes they can be confused with dandruff. Their main difference is that they do not break from the hair, because they are glued to;
