who discovered headlice
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.

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.
It is very rare to find lice specifically in armpits. Lice typically prefer the scalp and sometimes the pubic area. If you suspect lice in your armpits, it may be best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
