Is this really lice?!


Question:

Is this really lice?

My dad is convinced that he has lice. I have been reading things online about it for months now and I don't think it's lice. He claims that he can feel them biting and gluing themselves to his head. He's spent hundreds of dollars on treatments and I'm really concerned that he's wasting his money. He bought a magnifing glass and picks stuff out of his hair with the combs and looks at it. He thinks he can make out the shape of bugs in the gummy scabs that he combs out. I've looked at these "lice" too and I think it's just scabby material.

I have looked up almost every other parasite for your scalp and body and nothing seems to fit. I keep telling him to just let the scabs heal and they'll stop itching but he refuses to give up. I think it might be a pride thing.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this feeling of bugs crawling on them. It's not dandruff, psorisis, eczema.
I've been reading about morgellons it sounds pretty close except there are no fibers.
I'm confused.


Answers:

i had lice before and that doesnt sound right. they bugs would be coming out of your hair and crawl on stuff, and if he goes in his hair, u would feel them, if thats not happening its probably not lice
