Great paper. Certainly gives credence to the idea that All Conclusions Are Provisional. (Also will make me panic the next time the kids get head lice)

Thanks! You might be able to postpone the panicking. Although I haven't looked into head lice (we specifically looked at body lice), this redditor had some links in that head lice apparently are less likely to carry diseases.

The lice would also need to be coming from a human with the plague, right?

And we can treat the plague today.
