There are two types of dog lice that exist: The first type of dog lice concentrates on biting the skin and feeding on skin flakes; the other type of dog lice feed on your dog's blood. Blood sucking lice causes severe irritation because they penetrate the skin of your dog in order to feed
There is no threat from dog lice, as it is not interested in human blood.
Definitely no threat to pancreas

Generally no. Most parasites are host specific. Most species of lice affecting dogs pose no health hazard to humans with a normal immune system.

no they dont. they dont affect the pancreas. they are designed to stay on hairy parts of a host. even if you swallowed a doglice, gastric juices in your stomach will just digest the parasite and you will pass it out just like any other object which entered your system

I'm not a doctor nor do I know the answer to your question.
If you have some problems that concern you with your dog or with your health you should make an appointment with your own Dr and discuss it with him.'
