Yes, because crabs can accually swim very well.
Whoever wrote that is an idiot. It's highly unlikely that lice will spread. Lice hold onto hair and do not let go when submurged.
People are constantly losing or shedding their hair. In my swimming pool, I clean hair out of the filter skimmer every day. Who's to say that the person with lice hasn't lost a few hairs that they are holding onto. Will they or could they survive long enough for another swimmer to come in contact with them?

Nits need at least 82o F.; and 70% humidity to incubate. During the incubation time the respiratory passages of the louse shut whenever the nits are immersed in water and they can survive under water for over 24 hours.

∙ 12y agoNo, you cant get Head lice from swimming in pools. The water actually kills them, because they'll drowned.

∙ 12y agoThe chlorine levels in a swimming pool would kill them before they could hatch.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes they can. While it is not likely for the lice to spread to others in the pool, the chlorine levels are not high enough to kill the lice and the nits.

Will lice survive chlorine?

Does chlorine kill head lice?
I dunno, but I honesty wouldn't try!Chlorine from a swimming pool will not kill lice.They can shut down their respiratory system for over 10 hours.If you put chlorine on your childs hair it isn't safe!You are much better off to put conditioner and olive oil to the head to suffocate the live lice.Then you can immobilize them and comb them out. One doesn't need harsh chemicals to kill lice.They need to be suffocated by something thick,then combed out!All nits must be removed as well or lice will return!www.myhairhelpers.comI'm not sure, but if it does, it would be needed in high concentration which would damage the hair. I read in ascientific journal that blow-dryin your hair can kill lice by drying them up...it might but it will damage your hairYes chlorine can kill the head lice and can even corrode the hairsNo it doesn't. It's probably possible that chlorine could kill lice, but it would have to be in such high concentrations that it would seriously hurt a human. And, unfortunately, lice can hold their breath in water so you can't really drown them either.Well, for one, it depends on how long you are in that pool. If you hang out in that pool for 3 hours, they most likely already drowned. Chlorine itself can kill lice eggs, and lice, but then again, the amount of diluted chlorine in pools, mixed with other chemicals, just leads to only a few actually dying. There isn't enough chlorine in standardized american pools to kill lice.Yes it could because chlorine is to strong for them to handle so eventually they will die.Chlorine from pools will NOT kill lice bugs but it can kill the nits, the lice eggs, because the chemicals are too much pressure so they'll never hatch and die. But the lice will still live.
