They wouldn't. End of.
Quite.
Why do people spread a pot of yoghurt over their burny bits instead of going to the doctor and getting a pretty instant cure for thrush? Two reasons:
1 - the embarrassment of going to the doctor and asking for the stuff
2 - some of the chemicals in the medication are pretty harsh to some people skin and dangerous to pregnant people, so a natural, more gentle cure is the only way they can go.
And it would only take a dose or two over an hour or two to get rid of the lice.
Also, considering the Devon area stereotype, i would have thought yoghurt was a pretty easy thing to get hold of.
Saying that, shaving the bush would be a good option also.
End of.
