Only, in this case, it was Claude who was erect and the obelisk which was lying down; but, as the river, reflecting the sky, prolonged the abyss below him, the immense promontory seemed to be as boldly launched into space as any cathedral spire; and the impression was the same.
Head lice are tiny insects. They are about the size of a sesame seed (2â3 mm long). Their bodies are usually pale and gray, but color may vary. One lice is called a louse. Head lice feed on tiny amounts of blood from the scalp. They usually survive less than a day if not on a person's scalp. Lice lay and attach their eggs to hair close to the scalp. The eggs and their shell casings are called nits.
Scientists have found that head lice either do not have a preference or prefer clean hair since they have an easier time laying their eggs and feeding in clean hair. What they also found is that head lice are more common in long hair. Interestingly enough, head lice infestations are also two to four times more common in girls that in boys â perhaps because of the long hair factor. Girls are also known to have more head-to-head-contact than boys.
