What are the Risk Factors for Ectoparasite Infestations?
The risk factors for ectoparasite infestations include poor hygiene, overcrowded living conditions, close contact with infested individuals or animals, and exposure to environments where these parasites thrive. For example, ticks are commonly found in wooded and grassy areas, while lice and scabies mites are often spread through close personal contact or sharing of personal items.
