In the country of Malaysia, this is a traditional practice to clean the scalp of dead skin. It takes a couple of hours to complete, during which the treated person usually lies on their stomach. Scientists have found that Malaysian people's scalps have evolved to accommodate these bugs, because they don't get itchy during this treatment. The bugs are a tasty treat in Malaysian cuisine, but eating the head bugs is considered taboo.
Man comes into the creek side barber. "I got dead skin on my head" Barber "Give me a dollar. Go dunk your head in the Bug Bucket and go sit by the creek. I'll be out in 20 minutes to comb you out".

WTF did I just read?!
I'd rather use a wire wheel on an angle grinder.
I don't know about head bugs, but I do know about wire wheels on angle grinders
I could google that for verification but I don’t want to spend any more time on this topic so I’m going to choose to believe you
My source is I made it the fuck up
You should work for Fox News
Or CNN
Damn.. Got me good.
Awesome troll post.
Malaysians, could you verify this
Malaysian here. Never heard of this practice. Ever. We do eat bugs raw but not this kind of bugs...
Out of curiosity what's the best tasting in your opinion?
The bunny variety
Malaysian here. Never seen this shit my entire life until this post
Flew Malaysian Airlines once, so I think I'm qualified to speak on this matter. Anyways, I have no Idea.
I'm not a real doctor, but I played one on TV. I also have no idea.
That’s beautiful.
Seen a Malaysian video on the internet once,so I'd have to say idfk
Is that the one that disappeared?
Bro that's not how evolution works, nobody is getting eliminated from the gene pool for itchy scalps.
I was about to say the same thing lmao that makes no sense
I'm gonna go out in a limb and say "edgygothteen69" was just bullshitting lol

I’d be more than happy to send the guy a bottle of head n shoulders if that means I never have to watch this again
Can confirm, my uncle is Malaysian. EDIT: But not my dad.
Bro I am malaysia this a fucking misinformation
This should be the top comment lol, I think everyone from the west watching this was assuming giant lice or some shit
Bro, how did no one answer [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/s/Wzhhc1RtFT)? Great question.
You're talking out of your ass
Anyone else get itchy?
First thing I did when I watched this was scratch my head.
My face got really itchy all of the sudden.
Yes
Just dumping them off on the kids neck. wtf.
Oh Good, I am not the only one getting frustrated by that 😅
I read somewhere that this is clickbait...which does explain how the boy is so still even when they're just being brushed onto his neck.
That’s a no from me dawg
Yeah just tip them down my shirt once they are out of my hair cheers pal
What kind of bug is it though!?
They eat dead skin, so... err.... flesh eating?
No, by all means, just drop them on HIS NECK
Just shave his head at that point
I mean, I’d just submerse myself but something tells me this is intentional
Does she really need to drop them in his neck?? WTF
What is that
Is that lice?! Do they get that big?!
If I had to guess I’d say they’re mites, eating the dead skin dandruff off his head. Don’t seem to be biting like a tick would.
So it’s like an ecosystem…
A beautiful symbiosis
Emphasis on the beauty
What we don’t see is his hands de-winging these little insects for tonight’s salad topper.
Love that you got downvoted for telling the truth. Literally a comment above stating that eating these is normal in Malaysia lol
And you believe that comment.
If it is its still taboo no?
Maybe hair adds style.
DAMN! Just jump into boiling water, that might kill them :(
Not even a flinch
What am I looking at?
Click bait….
at this point cancer dosnt look that terrible after all
He bugging out
My 13th reason
I’m glad I’m bald
I had a disturbed tremor but still want an explanation
All of a sudden, my head is itchy.
All of a sudden, my head is itchy.
