1. Well, storks are much bigger than necessary to bring baby lice...
so it's difficult to guess who is responsible for the arrival of baby lice.

3. Hairwax, pollen, bird droppings, dormant moss from unwashed heads.
All of this combines to produce a nest for the head lice, which
can reproduce from as small a part as ten cells from their own wing particles, and can be transmitted by the wind, shared brushes, pillows, licking, etc. They were originally discovered millions of years ago in llamas and adapted during the era of the explorers. They are related to the crab and fish families.
