SANTA ROSA, FL (WKRG) — Purple flags are popping up all over the Florida panhandle as a nearly-invisible nuisance is causing a headache for beach-goers.

Sea lice, also known as beach lice, have been confirmed in South Walton and Santa Rosa Beaches, and they are moving west towards Alabama.

Sea lice are virtually impossible to see underwater, making them difficult to track. They are known to get stuck underneath bathing suits and irritate the skin, causing a rash known as seabather’s eruption.

Rashes may include elevated skin with a reddish tint and some small blisters. Severe reactions can cause fever, chills, nausea and headache.

This happens at the beach when you look too long and forget you're in public

Kyle Chandler talked about sea lice in an interview about filming in the Keys.

This is why I'm more of a pool guy. If God wanted us in the ocean he would have given us fins.

That's what happens when you don't get a hurricane in 10+ years
