A member asked:
Can u get head lice from someone who is infested if they sit in the passenger seat of your car? even if you didn't sit there?

Theoretically yes: Head lice can jump. Be sure to disinfect and thouroughly clean the entire passenger seat and be vigilant about watching for the lice for anyone in the car.
