Not true: Lice can reside on any hair site including the lashes and brow. I have seen this on several occasions .

Three Lice Types: There are three different species of louse that can infest humans and are specific for the head, body, or pubic hair. They preferentially live on the specified sites. Only the body louse transmits diseases. Pubic lice have been known to also inhabit the armpits, eyelashes and eyebrows.

Not their normal: site, but they can move to eyelashes (especially in children). Crabs or pubic lice (Phthirus pubis) are most likely to be found in the groin area. They may migrate to other parts of the body with coarse body hair such as armpits, chest, legs, eyelashes, eyebrows, beard or mustache.
