Lice and the Laws of Chatzitzah
Question
A woman who suspects that she has lice, does she need to comb with a fine comb before immersion?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
She must comb with a fine comb and remove all the lice that she can.
Whatever remains afterward is not considered a Chatzitzah, since she is not particular (makpidah) about it.
