Lice & Lyse
Lice – (n.) plural form of "louse."
Lyse – (v.) to rupture a cell through the process of lysis.
Did I mention that I'm also a scientific illustrator? :)
Is it possible to lyse your lice? Or lice your lyce for that matter? :D
ReplyDeleteIt would take a hell of a lot of osmotic pressure...
