Intimate contact.: Pubic lice are usually spread via sexual contact. Though less likely, it is also possible to transmit pubic lice via personal items such as towels, clothes, or bedsheets.

Lice: Head lice are transmitted two ways. The most common is direct person to person contact. The second way is vector transmission – from a contaminated object to a person.Vector transmission occurs when lice are spread through inanimate objects. For instance the lice can be on brushes, combs, hats, headphones, scarves, sweaters, coats, bedding, towels, upholstered furniture, carpet, & stuffed toys.
