== == They do. They bite the scalp and feed off the blood. They lay eggs on the hair (called nits). Lice are called parasites because they live off other animals. They can jump onto people and start their lif cycle again. You have to buy products from the pharmacy to kill them. If you catch one get something hard and squash it. You will hear a loud crack!!
