Do body lice (pediculus humanus var corporis) most often lay eggs in clothing/bedding/apholstery(fabrics) where humans tend to relax at night? is it true or false that body lice eggs on fabrics can take up to 2 weeks to hatch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LICE CAN OCCUR ON YOUR HAIR AND PUBIC AREAS ALSO AND LAY EGGS EVERY WHERE. THE EGGS SIX A DAY ARE LAID BY THE FEMALE AND TAKE SIX TO NINE DAYS TO HATCH.
