Is it possible to remove lice, their eggs, or both from one's body by using a vacuum cleaner on oneself? Freeknowledgecreator ( talk) 10:58, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
I am a human being, so of course my body is not a "flat surface", what a ridiculous question. Note that the question I asked above was not about me personally. Freeknowledgecreator ( talk) 22:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
They used to treat serious infestations with Lindane aka Kwell shampoo, but that stuff is so toxic that they appear to have mostly stopped. I don't know what they use now instead. Mild infestations = frequent soap and water and some other stuff on the skin. We can't give medical advice so I'm not going to look further into it here. Though when someone mentioned vacuum cleaner vs. hair, my first thought was those rug-sweeping vacuums with rotating brushes. ;) 2601:648:8202:96B0:3567:50D5:8BFF:4588 ( talk) 02:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
