Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Animal and Vegetable Parasites of the Human Skin and Hair
When the eggs are laid, they stick firmly to the human hair, and are called m'ts. This we will more particularly explain further on. In six days the young escape from the egg, and are. Ready to lay eggs at the age of eighteen days. A female lays some fifty eggs in all. We thus see why such enormous quantities, of the animals are often seen, and how they propagate with such astonishing rapidity.
