I used to watch mothers on the islands pick the lice from their kids heads, and eat them.

I used to tell my Thai friends there was a shampoo to rid them of lice.

They didn't seem interested. Mai pen rai.

Ahhh, the joys of wearing hijabs all day long.

Not hijabs, head scarves.

Its their culture. Girls and women are considered property, not human.

Anyone else got an itchy scalp just reading this?

This is all typical for muslum women. They are treated like animals and I guess they like it that way so just leave them alone as the muslum MEN don't want anyone messing with their SLAVES.
