A member asked:
Can a person get a pubic lice infestation from someone that shows no visible signs when using the shampoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question confusing: In general, a person can catch lice from another person only if the second person has lice or eggs that can hatch. It doesn't matter whether or not the infested person shows visible signs of lice, but most lice-infested persons are itching a lot. This question is unclear and doesn't say which shampoo, who's using it, where it's being used, or why someone is getting shampooed.
