SEE EXPLANATION Explanation: The Spanish word "piojo" is most definitely louse and "piojos" is lice. I've checked around but nobody has ever heard of the brand. To me it certainly sounds like a good (and probabl) name for a lice treatment but neither I nor my friends have ever heard of it in Mexico. Sorry! Lousy luck! Regards... tb |

lice exterminator (see explanation) Explanation: these usually come in Shampoo form for bar soap. Used widely in Mexico and Central and South America. Kids get lice all the time here in Honduras in the public schools and this sound like one of the brand names.
