Louse Bites

It itches. Right on the scalp, directly where your thoughts reside, something is crawling that has made itself at home — and it cannot be ignored. Lice are tiny parasites that establish themselves in concealment, feed on your blood, and thrive where you least notice them. Medically, louse bites are harmless skin irritations, allergic reactions to the saliva of the louse. But from a psychosomatic perspective, they tell a different story.

Why does your system offer a parasite nourishment? Why do you let something so close to you — literally beneath your skin, right at your head — that feeds off you without giving you anything in return? Louse bites are no coincidence. They are a signal that something in your life is draining your energy while you hold still.

Louse bites itch — and that is precisely their function. They draw attention to something you would otherwise overlook.
