Risk
They don't transmit disease, but they cause intense itching and scratching can infect the skin.
Where they appear
On people's heads. They survive only briefly off the scalp.
Important
Fumigating the house doesn't remove head lice: treatment is personal, with products recommended by a doctor or pharmacist. If what you have are bird mites coming from pigeon nests in roofs or air conditioners, that does call for treating the space and removing the nest.
