| Abstract: | Experiments show that lice treated with certain chemicals are often mistaken for dead when they are really not. Heat surpasses all chemicals for treating clothing and equipment. Of a number of protective chemicals experimented with, the ethereal oils caused dispersal, but not death, the phenol series and their ethers, and naphthalene proved fatal if volatitility and time exposure were suitable. |
