[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lice that evoled in Europe are evolved for straight hair.  Lice that evolved in African countries evolved to be better adapted to African hair.  It's harder for the lice to hold in in the hair that they are not evolved for.

Though American studies have shown a low prevalence of lice in Black children in the U.S., that doesn't apply to Black children in Africa. The WHO writes, "Despite reports from the USA that Black students are less infested than white, head lice are a serious problem in Africa."

But it doesn't matter.  Just preventive lice comb.[/quote]

Two comments.

1. Fascinating. Never considered there'd be lice that could or could not hold onto different hair structures. 
2. I love how quickly the PC police jumped in to lecture the person who asked about black hair and lice, as if asking that question was akin to KKK level racism.  [/quote]
