Louse

A louse — small, clinging, infesting — often touches uneasy feelings about your health and the exasperation of an enemy's vexation. The dream may ask what nagging worry about your wellbeing won't leave you, and where a low, irritating presence is getting under your skin.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
