White bugs...

I found one of my goats has some white bugs on her...I gave her the appropriate amount of Ivomectin and dusted her neck, back, belly and legs with DE.

I checked a handful of other goats - didn't find anything but assuming I'll need to treat all of them. It's time anyway, that time of the year.....

So, no problem there..but do I need to be concerned about myself getting these goat lice?? Or are they host specific? Thanks!!

They are host specific.
