NO MATTER HOW OFTEN YOU WASH IT.
THAT'S A BIT OF A COLD SHOWER.
An animated man is taking a shower.
The narrator continues, IN FACT, LICE WILL MULTIPLY
MORE EASILY ON A CLEAN HEAD
THAN A DIRTY HEAD.
Animated lice smile.
[Lice chittering]
The narrator says, WHY?
BECAUSE LICE BREATHE THROUGH

The narrator says, SO THE MORE OIL ON YOUR SCALP
THE MORE LIKELY THEIR PORES
WILL CLOG
AND STOP THEM BREATHING.

IS A "LOUSE-Y" IDEA.
SOLUTIONS ARE AT HAND.

A calendar counts 10 days.
The narrator says, TWO DAY AFTER MATING
THE YOUNG FEMALE LAYS HER EGGS,
BETWEEN FOUR AND EIGHT
PER DAY.
A SINGLE FEMALE LOUSE
CAN PRODUCE,

BETWEEN 150 AND 300 EGGS
DURING HER LIFE
WHICH LUCKILY ONLY LASTS
50 DAYS. PHEW!

LICE DON'T HAVE WINGS.
THEY CAN'T EVEN JUMP,
BUT BOY CAN THEY CRAWL.
YOU CATCH THEM
BY DIRECT CONTACT.
Three animated women sit close together.
The narrator says, EVER WATCH FUNNY VIDEOS
WITH YOUR FRIENDS
WITH YOUR HEADS
STUCK TOGETHER LIKE THIS?
The woman in the centre looks at her laptop. The woman on either side of her lean closer to her.
The narrator says, YOU MUST BE OFF YOUR HEADS.
AND THINKING OF BORROWING
YOUR SISTER'S COMB?
SCRATCH THAT IDEA.

The narrator says, NUMBER ONE: ANY TREATMENT WORKS,
TRUE OR FALSE?
An animated person is scratching their head.
The narrator says, FALSE.
A red letter X appears.
[Buzzer]
The narrator says, YOU CAN FIND SPECIAL LICE
TREATMENTS IN PHARMACIES.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'RE BECOMING
LESS EFFECTIVE
BECAUSE LICE HAVE BUILT UP
A RESISTANCE TO THEM.
BUT THERE ARE NEW OIL-BASED
TREATMENTS
THAT WORK BY CLOGGING
THE LOUSE'S SKIN PORES
WHICH SUFFOCATE THEM.
CHOKE ON THAT!
Oil covers a lice’s pores.
The narrator says, ALL THESE TREATMENTS
TARGET ADULT LICE,
BUT NOT THE EGGS.
TO GET RID OF THEM
YOU MUST USE A FINE-TOOTHED COMB
OR REMOVE THEM BY HAND
ONE BY ONE.
TAKE YOUR PICK.
YOU'LL WANNA MAKE SURE
YOU NEVER SEE HIDE NOR HAIR
OF THESE GUYS AGAIN.
An animated girl has lice in and around her hair.
The narrator says, OI! HOP IT!
[Lice chittering]
