Is Vagabond a bad word?
While the word itself may not be intrinsically insulting, it’s such an archaic and rarely used word in today’s jargon that you are probably insinuating something negative just by using it.
What is vagabond’s disease?
When body lice infestation is long lasting, heavily bitten areas of the skin can become thickened and darkened, particularly in the mid-section of the body. This condition is called “vagabond’s disease.” Body lice are known to transmit disease (epidemic typhus, trench fever, and epidemic relapsing fever).
Does alcohol kill body lice?
Since rubbing alcohol does not kill lice, trying to use it on your child will just be exposing them to unnecessary discomfort (and danger), and in the end you’ll still have to find another treatment. That’s why when it comes to treating head lice effectively, it’s best to trust the professionals.
Can body lice transmit disease?
Can body lice transmit disease? Yes. Body lice can spread epidemic typhus, trench fever, and louse-borne relapsing fever.
What do lice bites on skin look like?
They bite anywhere they are feeding on the head, but they are particularly fond of the back of the head and the area behind the ears because this is a warmer area of the scalp. The bites often appear as small reddish or pink bumps, sometimes with crusted blood. When scratched excessively, the bites can become infected.
