    Lice from Parakeets
    My baby's moma is in at me about my son having head lice.

    I don't have lice.
    My other kids don't have lice.
    My fiancé don't have lice.

    I do however have parakeets.
    Can they have the same lice that is tranmittable to humans?

    Also is it true that black people don't get lice?

    Bird mites are called red mites - I do not believe they are transferable to humans.

    And of course Black people - and Asians and Hispanics and Caucasians - can get lice.

    If your son has them and has spent time in your home there's a good chance you ALL have them.
