    Ectoparasites are parasites that live on the surface of the host. Common ectoparasites include scabies mites, body lice, head lice, and crab lice. Scabies mites burrow under the skin and lay eggs, with the life cycle taking about a month. Body and head lice live on clothing/hair and feed on blood, laying eggs that hatch within 10 days. Crab lice live in pubic hair and are spread through direct contact. Prevention methods include avoiding sharing personal items, regular washing of clothing/bedding, and use of permethrin treatments.
