A member asked:
Can lice be transmitted through bathing with someone who is infested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although, lice will not necessarily transfer through the water, it may just transfer from direct contact in the bathtub. But if some fall in the water and the other person gets them in his/her head, this may most likely lead to infestation.
