And the GP has told me that you get them from "close bodily contact with people who are infected or rough hotels" to draw my own conclusions? (GP assured the DCs and myself that we did not have them) but their dad did. So AIBU to "accuse" him of the above close bodily contact? Have namechanged recently and will namechange again, I think. What do you think?

After much fuss about the whole thing P went to the GP and after that I took the DCs to the GP, Amber the GP informed me where such lice can be acquired, what the symptoms are etc and confirmed we were fine.

P happily admitted he got them and he expects me to deal with it. I am only dealing with it as far as common living spaces and the DCs and I are concerned.

I know someone who caught them from a sleeping bag.

So it is just Ps word that they are body lice and not pubic lice?

Body lice live in clothing so you are right to separate laundry.

Can't you kick him out? Doesn't he have a mother to go to?

If its scabies then treat you and the kids any way? Spots and itching between fingers is a big give away.

www.nhs.uk/conditions/pubic-lice/pages/introduction.aspx - pubic lice, also called crab lice

the above link says this:
Pubic lice are not linked to poor personal hygiene. They are spread through close body contact with someone who has them.
The lice crawl from hair to hair but cannot fly or jump. They need human blood to survive, so generally only leave the body to move from one person to another.
Pubic lice are most commonly passed on during sexual contact. Condoms will not prevent them from being passed to another person.
It is also possible for pubic lice to be spread through sharing clothes, towels and bedding.
