Brief Answer:
Penicillin doesn't treat lice....Use permethrin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lice infestation. Penicillin doesn't treat lice and i will rather recommend that you take permethrin to treat this. Also, washing and ironing all your dresses will be very helpful in directly killing the lice.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

what has went on in this town is this it is actually a black man in his late 50s early 60s that's the carrier. I don't know where he got this from other than he may be bisexual. After he contracted this disease he started to sleep with women anywhere from 21 like up to his age both black and white, and its spread around in the city. Its like the women were easy to him and they all caught it.
