The toxic product Goldgeist suggests, through its logo, that pubic lice (Kleiderläuse, known as Schamläuse) should be fought with flames. “The direct transmission of pubic lice occurs from person to person through close body contact, mainly during sexual intercourse.” Some believe they can be transmitted through clothing.
Through a small hole in the plasterboard, Goldgeist can be seen in a room that is fire-resistant for 90 minutes from the outside, but completely flammable from the inside.
