The action of the story concerns a rogue elephant that has killed a Burmese man. The narrator finds the elephant standing peacefully in a field. He does not want to kill the elephant, but he knows the large crowd of people who have followed him to the field expect him to do it. He shoots the elephant several times.
The first thing to remember is head lice can not live off the human host for more than 48 hours. Also, lice do not have âfeetâ and can not travel well an smooth hard surfaces. Lice can not jump or fly. Nits/eggs need to be in a warm, dark, moist place to incubate.
Human lice survive by feeding on human blood. Lice found on each area of the body are different from each other. The three types of lice that live on humans are: 1  Pediculus humanus capitis (head louse), 2  Pediculus humanus corporis (body louse, clothes louse), and. 3  Pthirus pubis (crab louse, pubic louse).
