Jaundice: refers to pale the skin which occurs when there is too much bile pigment  in the blood. It is first noticed in whites of the eyes due to high bilirubin level. High unconjugated bile pigment may due to liver diseases such as blockage of bile duct which supply bile juice to break down food.
Lice:
Head lice are wingless insects spending their entire lives on the human scalp. They led to head itching .
