Is lice used for any type of commercial product?

Lice is not typically harvested or used directly in commercial products. However, there is a recent study published in the journal BMC Zoology exploring the potential of using lice-derived compounds for medicinal applications. The study suggests that lice extracts may possess antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which could potentially be harnessed for pharmaceutical development. Further research is needed to investigate the safety and efficacy of using lice extracts in commercial products.
