Can lice go through sheets?
This question is categorized under head lice. To answer that question, the answer is very likely no. Head lice are about the size of a sesame seed. Most sheets sold today are woven much more tightly than that to allow them to go through sheets. There is a SMALL chance head lice may transfer from one person to another if sharing a pillow or a fabric that has touched an infested person's head. The probability is minimal, but items such as sheets should be washed and dried at the highest possible temperature. I am not an expert on body lice or pubic lice, so I can only comment on head lice.

Why do you have to wash bed linen after head lice?
Off of a human's head lice cannot not live past 24-48 hours. Therefore, when they have fallen off onto your pillows, blankets, sheets, stuffed animals, etc. they may still be there (alive) after you have treated your hair. So to prevent getting head lice back into your hair, it is best to wash your bedding and dry them thoroughly. Lice and nits will die in temperatures higher than 138 degrees.
Does washing all bedding kill pubic lice?
You only need to wash bedding and clothing used in the last 24 hours before you treat your body. Pubic lice can only live for less than a day without a human host.
