Bugs and insects seem to love the summer months as much as we do, and they also love a good nibble on some human flesh. Unfortunately, even the smallest bug bite can impact you enough to ruin your holiday.
Head Lice

Head lice are tiny wingless insects that hang out on the human scalp. Unlike fleas and ticks, head lice are exclusive to humans and only feed on human blood. These annoying pests are very common in children and are easily transmitted to others nearby.
Scabies
