You can comb them out, zap them with chemicals or simply keep scratching. But head lice have a habit of maintaining a firm grip on their habitat.

And the bad news is they are becoming increasingly resistant to the most common treatments.

Scientists believe that 80 per cent of the bugs are immune to over-the-counter lotions. They found lice were untroubled by the chemicals permathrin and phenothrin, found in popular bug-busting brands such as Lyclear and Full Marks.

The experts say the process of natural selection means the insects have developed a resistance to the lotions.

[...]

Most lice have developed a gene which makes them more resistant to poisons following years of exposure to the chemicals.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I blame Bush.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt

Not Humans. It's not about survival of the fittest anymore.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
