Where did the first lice come from and how did it reproduce?

Really-think about a roach-they are tolerant to drought, water, heat, and radiation. They are annoying and will live after a nuclear disaster. The louse-is a more fragile creature and there are different types. The worst pests survive forever no matter how many or their relatives are killed.

You know, I would like to see a response from a doc, or better yet a pediatrician, but I would say no, because the lice need hair to latch onto, and there aren't any pubic hairs on a newborn.\n\nAm I right?

If you have lice you need to get your parents to treat your scalp with some stuff made to kill the lice. That's probably what your doing home today. \n\nWho is the him that you cant get ahold of? I cant give you any ideas if I dont know who your trying to get ahold of or why. \n\nSorry!

From a planet called Earth.\n\nBy the way, most human beings have been black- or dark brown-skinned for most of human history.  Genetic studies indicate that to produce a white-skinned person, for example, takes about fifteen thousand years in a colder and more importantly lower-light-intensity climactic zone.\n\nThe real question is "from what planet came on the Earth" racially bigoted persons with a disordered sense of prepositional syntax.  I'm guessing from Uranus.

Louse, common name for several species of small, wingless insects. Three types of true, or sucking, lice infest humans: the crab louse, a broad, grayish-white insect, about 0.3 cm (about 0.13 in) long, usually found in the hairs of the pubic region; and two slender, gray lice, also about 0.3 cm long: the body louse, usually found in clothing, and the head louse, found in the hairs of the head (See also Parasite). The eggs, or nits, are attached to the hair or deposited in the seams of clothing. These species subsist on the blood of humans; the body louse is a vector in the transmission of several diseases (see Relapsing Fever; Typhus). True lice infecting domestic animals include the hog louse, the horse louse, two species of cattle lice, and the dog louse.\n\nThe biting lice, or bird lice, are insects differing from the true lice in that they possess biting (rather than sucking) mouthparts. They feed on the feathers and skin of birds and occasionally on the skin of other animals. The chicken louse is a species about 0.3 cm (about 0.13 in) long, common on domestic fowl. There are also several species that are parasitic on turkeys and pigeons.\n\nThe name louse is also applied to several other small insects, such as the plant lice (see Aphid), bark lice, and book lice. The wood louse (also known as sow bug), a crustacean, is so called because of its superficial resemblance to lice.\n\nScientific classification: True lice belong to the order Phthiraptera. The crab louse is classified as Phthirus pubis, the body louse as Pediculus humanus humanus, the head louse as Pediculus humanus captitis, and the hog louse as Haematopinus suis. The horse louse is classified as Haematopinus asini and the cattle lice as Haematopinus eurysternus and Linognathus vituli. The dog louse is classified as Linognathus setosus. The biting, or bird, lice make up the suborder Mallophaga. The chicken louse is classified as Menopon gallinae. Plant, bark, and book lice belong to the order Psocoptera.\n\nMicrosoft ® Encarta ® Encyclopedia 2005 © 1993-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Lice and pin worms are the most common but they can also get round worms and hook worms if they are playing where an animal has deficated and putting thier hands in their mouths.

Pretty common. I had it when I was about 9 or 10. It was embarassing, but it happens to alot of kids.\nI remember my mom freaking out. She practically bobbed my hair short and bought the special shampoo for head lice.

It sounds like crabs to me. I found this description at myDNA.com:\n\nCrab Lice \n  \nCrabs, or pubic lice, are tiny, barely visible parasites (scientific name Pthirus pubis) that live in the pubic area and cause itching. ("Lice" is plural; the singular is "louse"). Pubic lice are commonly called crabs because they are shorter and rounder than head lice and body lice, making them resemble crabs. They are usually found in the pubic hair, but can also be found in other body areas with short hair (eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, mustache).Pubic LouseCopyright © 2005 Nucleus Communications, Inc.

Head lice do not "jump" or "leap" from one person to another.  They aren't made that way.  The crawl.  That's all they can do.  And, yeah, lay lots and lots of eggs.  But, as to where they come from, God created them.  For what purpose...only He knows.  \n\nHere's some info for ya...\n\nNits are small yellowish-white (sometimes they look silver) oval shaped eggs that are "glued" to the hair shaft at an angle.  \nYou can't "catch" nits from another person.\nIt takes 7-10 days for a nit to hatch, and another 7-10 days for the female to mature and begin laying eggs.\nHead lice are clear in color when hatched, then quickly develop a reddish brown color after feeding, and yes they are visible right after hatching.  \nThey are about the size of sesame seeds.  \nHead lice are crawling insects.  They cannot hop, jump or fly.  \nHead lice do not thrive on pets.\nHead lice are parasites.  They need human blood to survive.\nThey live for approximately 30 days on a host and female louse may lay up to 100 nits.  \nHead lice off of their human host will starve.  In most cases, a head louse will not survive for more than 24 hours off of its human host.  \n\nThere are a lot of remedies out there for head lice from the utterly stupid to the "that just might work."  The only real thing that can get rid of them is dilligence.  YOU MUST TREAT AND THEN RETREAT IN 7-10 DAYS!  KEEP CHECKING THE HAIR CONSTANTLY FOR MORE NITS OR LIVE LICE.  LICE COMBS ARE THE GREATEST INVENTION SINCE LIGHT BREAD.  \n\nHere's a home remedy that actually worked for us.  It was cheap and effective.  \n\nSaturate the hair with conditioner (any kind will do) making sure you rub it into the scalp and on the hot spots (behind the ears and the back of the neck).  Leave on for 30-60 minutes then comb out with a LICE COMB.  Regular combs will comb out the dead ones, but it won't get the nits.  You can buy a lice comb set for about $8 at Wal Mart.  Rinse thoroughly with warm (not hot, not cold) water, combing while doing this as well.  \n\nYou also have to treat your furniture and carpets and bedding.  Wash all bedding and clothing in hot water with BLEACH!!  Use bedding spray (also available at Wal Mart) to treat the things you can't put in the washing machine.  Also make sure you spray your carpets, vaccuum then throw out your vaccuum cleaner bag.  \n\nHope this helps.

Putting arguments of a religious nature to one side... Darwinian evolution would say that that which we call a chicken (due to its unique genetic code) would have come from an egg laid by an animal almost a chicken but genetically slightly different. The theory being that a random genetic variation in the DNA of the offspring made it differ from its parent enough to be a different spicies, ie the first chicken. If this is the case, and science supports the theory, then we have a choice to answer your question. We can say that the first chicken egg was laid by a non chicken (the egg came first) or the first chicken came from a non chicken egg (the chicken came first).

Crabs are body lice that manifest usually in the groin because it's warm and moist. They attach themselves to pubic hair and also attach their eggs to pubic hair. When they are hungry they feed on blood. They cause itching when they're on the move, and as a result of feeding. They are tiny (about or smaller the size of a pin head) and are almost transparent. Their eggs are also almost transparent.

I don't know, but I doubt it.  Although the popularly accepted story of where syphilis originated is that it came from people having sex with sheep, it is still an infection, and as such, merely has the property of infecting more than one species of host.  That would be kind of like saying that rabies has components of skunk, squirrel, bat, dog and cat protein.  See what I mean?

What an odd question. They come from variations of a dog-like species that evolved. What exactly are you asking?

A government conspiracy? The feds created lice to keep the lower class down. Rich people don't get lice.\n\nGod created lice to punish man for seeing that he had hair.

Having two daughters who had lice for three years was a nightmare.\n\nI started off with the chemicals, tried the oils as already suggested, but then resorted to a Sunday evening ritual of 'The Nit Scrake'.\n\nMy girls often tried to wiggle out of this and I could have given up, but it became a ritual.\n\nSo just to explain. You get adult lice (the breeders) medium lice (cannot breed yet) and the nits the eggs.\n\nSo every Sunday, a good day as it is scrub up day before school.\n\nGet your daughter to lean over the bath, and wet her hair for her, then add copious amounts of conditioner, I buy the biggest and cheapest, rub it through and add more water, brush it through with her own hair brush to detangle and start combing with a metal lice comb, from the nape of the neck and forward to her brow, you must ensure the comb touches her scalp, you must ensure you do every area of her head,  rinse the little beggers off following each stroke. Your daughter will see them falling into the bath and start to undersand why she has to endure this.\n\nNow turn her over so that her face is uppermost...it is possible and do it all again.\n\nchuck the comb in a sink...count the little black dots with her, show her them close up, see the little wiggly legs and she may then take this more seriously.\n\nI now rinse the bath and offer an evening shower or bath whatever their preference. They can relax, wash their hair and its all over.\n\nSo all in all you will have caught most of the mature ones, left some eggs behind and not managed to get the tiny lice, but as they grow on in the week you can catch them next sunday, and when the eggs hatch you will catch them in about three sundays.\n\nYou should  notice a change in the size of lice being caught, but if they remain large...she is picking them up from somewhere or you are not doing a thorough job.\n\nThe reason why I do it over the bath is because lice will fall onto clothing or towels and crawl back up to the hair....I used to get covered in the early days and actually watched one wandering its way upwards and onwards.\n\nWe became lice and egg free in about two months, and my girls were absolutely infested, as long as you get the immature ones each week you will break the life cycle.\n\nWe all have our own hairbrushes..they are forbidden from using their friends brushes...easier to blame others for your lice!!.\n\nWe now continue this ritual, just to keep on top of things and have been clear for about five months.\n\nI now do this with a small white towel over their shoulders, but still then get them to have their bath or shower afterwards, and the towel goes straight to the wash as if contaminated.\n\nThe hard work is so worthwhile when you get a sigh of relief and a 'Im not itchy anymore'....\n\nI also clean the hairbrushes each week, but just as a note, check your own hair, one little itch means you have one.\n\nBut their hair is also so healthy now. I have saved myself a fortune, I have two girls who have an understanding of a life cycle, and I did not boil their clothes and bedding daily, The"nit scrake" ritual was more than I could bear.

The egg.  It probaly evolved from dinos. Two types of dinos could have created the first chicken egg.
