I've had lice before, both head and body types, and they were so benign and not bothersome that I allowed them to stay voluntarily out of kindness and generosity.

They are really amazing little creatures.

Enough HN for today.
If you loved them so much what made you rid of them?
I didn't purposely get rid of them, though I stopped nurturing them as much due to human partnership. They just disappeared over time.
Could it be that you passed the lice on to your new human companions? Fickle friends indeed!
No

That might be you having a (more intense) immune response to the insect bite than OP. Or that OP is joking.
