These lice are found mostly in the hair of the pubic area. They may also be found under the armpits, in the beard or mustache and on the eyebrows and eyelashes.

LICE Anyone can get lice no matter how clean they are about their personal hygiene and their homes.
People get lice from people.
They don't come from pets. Head lice are transferred between persons who share items such as hats, hairbrushes, combs, or wigs. Body lice spread from clothing, particularly underclothing. If infested clothing is left lying about, body lice can migrate and thus, spread to other clothes and people. Crab lice usually are transmitted from person to person by sexual contact, however, they can be found on toilet seats and in beds, and from there, spread to people.
