Informational Photo Sheet – Body Lice

This image shows a close-up of a body louse feeding on a
human.

These images show what excoriations (scratches that a person does due to itching) due to body lice look like on light and
dark skin. (Images courtesy of VisualDx).

These images show nits (eggs) of body lice in seams of clothing (left) and body lice in someone’s armpit (right). Note that
they are small and can be hard to see. (Images courtesy of VisualDx).

Informational Photo Sheet – Fleas
This image shows a photo of a flea taken through a microscope.
Fleas are small and difficult to see without a microscope.

These images show flea bites on light and dark skin. Bites are often the only sign that a person has been bitten by a flea,
since fleas do not live on people. (Images courtesy of VisualDx).

This image shows what fleas look like on dogs. Fleas live on dogs and cats, so it is important to be able to recognize signs
of flea infestation in animals.
