LICE IN THE BIBLE

Remember that lice are the 3rd plague .   As much as we would like to deny lice is an issue the reality is that is has been around as long as humans can remember.  Lice appear in the Bible, they have been found in ancient tombs and have been noted throughout history.

In the story that is told during the Seder The Egyptian sorcerers were able to mimic some of the plagues proving that Moses’ G-d was not all-powerful.  When it came to the 3rd plague of lice where G-d made lice from the dirt of the land the Egyptian sorcerers were unable to replicate the lice epidemic, recognizing the lice outbreak as the act of a superior power. 

Today we are dealing with the plague of super lice.  Lice have many generations in a short period of time and they evolve quickly.  Lice evolve to protect themselves against pesticide and chemical treatments.  However, lice cannot grow resistant to the treatment  that Lice Lifters has developed.
