Are you saying that the One and Only didn't Create those things? Or that it was some afterthought necessary because some simple human screwed up the Perfect Divine Plan in an way unforeseen by God? Or are you just blowing smoke out of your @ss?

Enough with the philology, lets get back to the lousy subject.

Another name for lice, "Chisai tamadachi". (little friends)

In the camps, as I have read, the zeks and the jews too, could tell when a person was close to death by the way the lice behaved, and when they died the lice would leave the body quickly.

In WW I. they were called mickies, cooties and chats
and from this 'chatting' has remained in our social vocabulary.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'chat' rooms.
Think I'll go take a shower.

A bit from column A, a bit from column B, and mostly from column C.

It all goes back to Zoroaster deciding that Ahura Mazda created all the "good things" (cattle, horses, etc.) whilst Ahriman created all the "evil things" (insects, bugs, etc.). Judaism and Christianity cribbed these ideas from Zoroastrianism without atribution, and without thinking too clearly about the implications for their alleged "one God responsible for absolutely everything" theory. It's a little weird to assert that we have lice because Eve took a bite of an apple; at least the Persian myth is a little less bizarre and doesn't saddle us with an unearned "original sin" merely because we had the audacity to be born.
