Golly gee whiz, Riddler, are you talking about head, crab, or body lice? 

Head and crab lice glue their eggs to hair follicles. Head lice lay their
eggs on scalp hair, while crab lice lay theirs in body and pubic hair.
Body lice lay theirs eggs in the seems of clothes and bedding. 

As for the most common method of treatment for head lice today? Why I
believe it is using a pyrethrum extract from chrysanthemum flowers to kill
lice and their nits (eggs) in scalp hair, and then a vegetable derived
enzyme that loosens the glue that bods the nits to hair, and then combing
them out with a very fine toothed comb. Crab lice has a similar treatment.


For body lice it means not living in crowded, unsanitary conditions
where clothing and bedding is infrequently changed or laundered. In other
words, not living in filthy concentration camps like the Nazis kept people
in.

More bullshit from Giwer, who does not realize that there is more than one
species of lice, and who also does not realize that shaving one's head has
no effect whatseoever on infestations of body lice, which are the carriers
of typhus. 

Another of Giwer's "cherished stories" bites the dust.

It is fortunate for Giwer that he was to craven to put his money where his
big mouth was. He would have been quickly parted, as happens all to often
with fools, from his money post haste.
