And then there is the old boy scout method. I call it the boy scout
method because that's where I first heard of it - also reported to
work on crab lice:

Spray the area with lighter fluid.

Set on fire using the method of your choice.

Wait for ticks, lice to make a hasty exit,

Stab with an ice pick.

(old boy scout joke, just kidding) :-)


Wayne, you left out the most important part of the joke. You shave one
ball and then light the other ball on fire. When they run to the shaved
ball to escape the fire, then you stab them with an ice pick.
