Passenger Climbs On Public Bus, Horrified By What’s Crawling In Woman’s Hair

A woman in Mexico was caught on camera with a head full of crawling lice (video below).

In the clip, the woman can be seen driving a bus while the passenger films her lice-infested head. The tiny bugs crawl throughout her hair, which appears to not have been washed in some time. The woman is seemingly unaware that she is being filmed.

Many readers had strong reaction’s to the woman’s disturbing case of lice.

“Keep your girls hair up tight in ponytails/braids, and your [boys’] hair short. When the children were little I’d also put a barrier of “cholesterol” around their hairline. Lice is unavoidable in public schools, but that doesn’t mean your child will get it. As for that woman on the bus, she needs to shave her head. And be taught about personal hygiene, unfortunately, some people are never taught,” one Mad World News reader commented on the site’s Facebook page.

“Why did I look? I made myself sick. You mean to tell me she doesn’t feel those things crawling around. There is no excuse. Cut that nest off your head and use the solution to kill anything on your head that should not be there,” another wrote.

One reader offered a way to treat lice based on their own experience.

They’re easy to get but there’s no reason to leave them like that in your hair there’s ways to treat it in fact a simple thing is mayonnaise you put it in your hair put a cap on leave it overnight kills the live lice and then you comb it out daily couple times a day and you’ll have it gone and no time and you don’t have to use any nasty insecticides or chemicals or anything simple mayonnaise cuz the oil base does it. I grew up on the Indian reservation and I’m a nurse it’s the easiest way to get rid of them and then in the schools they need to put there coats and hats and mittens in a trash bag and hang it on the hook rather than hanging the coats and the hats on the hook

Head lice, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported, can only move by crawling and are not able to hop or fly — contrary to what many believe. Lice are spread through head-to-head contact, and spreading lice by contact with clothing or items like combs and brushes is reportedly very uncommon.

Personal hygiene, the CDC noted, has no direct correlation with lice infestation.

Whether or not the bus driver was aware of her lice infestation was not reported.
