Lice reproduced in the creases of grimy apparel and making men tingle persistently. Notwithstanding when dress was occasionally washed and deloused, lice eggs perpetually stayed covered up in the creases; inside a couple of hours of the garments being re-worn the body heat produced would bring about the eggs to bring forth.
