Question
A woman who suspects she has lice, is she required to comb with a fine-toothed comb before immersion?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
She is required to comb with a fine-toothed comb and remove all the lice that can be removed.
What remains afterward is not considered a barrier, as the woman no longer cares about it.
