E)all of the above.

Accepted Answer

Pediculosis is a condition caused by infestation with lice, typically on the scalp, but can also involve other areas of the body. It is not a worm infestation, and it can be transmitted through close contact or sharing hats, combs, or other personal items. While pediculosis can affect the pubic area (in which case it is called pubic lice or "crabs"), not all cases do. The most common treatment for pediculosis is the use of insecticidal shampoos.
