African-Americans and Head Lice. Now, lice are not racist, so they do not choose to breed only in the hair of Caucasians and not in that of the African-Americans. Thus, the answer to your question is, Yes, they can.But, the chances of Caucasians, Asians, or even Hispanics getting lice is far more than that of the African-Americans.ead lice are contagious and they can spread by various means, such as towels, pillow covers, or sometimes even by using the comb of an infected person. They usually occur in children from the age group of 3 to 12 years and it's specially the girls who have this problem because of their long hair.
You don't have to be unclean or live in poor conditions to get lice BUT lice continue to be prevalent in the worst conditions where many diseases break out (i.e. typhus) All parasites are found in nature and originally transmitted to humans they didn't just magically appear... Aug 07, 2017. where do lice come from. NEW. Lice breed in wet wood and damp warm places. A friend of mine, who was 14 had them all over her body. She was playing with her pet hampster on the floor, between her legs, holding it close to her body etc. Her hampster died shortly after. It was infested with lice, so was the family cat.
