What is Pediculosis?

Infestation of body lice
Infestation of head lice
Infestation of scabies mites
Infestation of yeast

The correct answer is: Infestation of body lice

Pediculosis is the infestation of body lice. Body lice are a type of parasitic insect that infests clothing and bedding, and they feed on human blood. It is essential for estheticians to be aware of pediculosis and its symptoms to prevent the spread of lice in shared spaces like salons. The other options, such as head lice, scabies mites, and yeast, refer to different types of infestations and conditions, making them incorrect in the context of pediculosis.
