      I think they can lay eggs in your body hair (other than head) but the eggs are much more likely to get washed/brushed off from your legs and arms since the hair is short and less thick and you rub your arms and legs much more than your head (washing/getting dressed etc)…

      You can get pubic lice though – yuk…
