Nick Murray and his 13-year-old son Will began bleeding from their feet after standing in the Sandringham bay for 10 minutes, and the pair believed that sea lice were to blame.
University of Melbourne marine biologist Professor Michael Keough stated that it was a possibility: “They’re scavengers who’ll clean up dead fish and feed on living tissue. They’re mostly less than a centimeter long, and so the bites they make are pretty small, and so that’s more consistent with pinprick size marks.”
“It’s just food for them. Especially if he’s been standing around for a long time, it’s the chance for more of them to come in and start biting. Just be attracted to a little bit of blood. And if he’s standing in the water and he’s cold and may not notice a whole lot of little bites,” he added.
