I think Lice would add an excellent element to game play as soon as beta hits, acting as a downside to staying too close to your buddies!
Here's the basic run down:
* When a player is afflicted by Lice, he or she was repeatedly strike the L key in order to scratch the lice from their scalp!
* Lice acts like a pest but can soon turn into a dangerous dilemma, by ignoring the Lice, you slowly lose health and and other players would want to stay away from you at this point!
* Lice can be contracted by other players, causing a terrible pandemic! The whole fortress could come down with lice and productivity could come to a hiatus, as people are to busy scratching Lice off their scalps.
* Lice can only be removed by taking a bath. strangely enough, Lice is immune to MAGMA.
* Zombies can have Lice.
* Lice is deadly, and can kill players in 34.5 seconds if not scratched.
There can also be a Lice Queen mob the size of a player avatar! She can give you lice btw.
EDIT: If you have a beard, you can keep Lice as a pet, and use it to attack other players.
Actually, termites I think would be really cool... they might even appear on-screen as just a mass of termites and would slowly move along wood blocks, eating away until you dig them
---> Lice would be interesting but they seem really oddly implemented. What about just jumping into water or something? xD

"I want to see forum posts saying "how do i kill dragon" with replies reading "lol"."

I think it would be an idea to add a (crafable or bought at the future gnome-village) potion to the game. this will have to be added to the helmet slot in the inventory and work for a while. The potion will have a time limit, and if you don't get rid of the lice with one portion, you will need to do it again.
Because lice will increase in number after a certain time, giving you more itches, you will at max need several potions to shrink the lice-colony and/or eliminate it. This would first demand both the goblin village and some sort of money/trading-value system.
I like it, but maybe something more serious like an alien or endermen virus, something with a creepy twist. If you've ever played halo, you would get the point, when you think about the flood-alien-type thing.

After about the 10th comment on a thread, no one pays attention to what you have to say. ):
No support, even this is over 3 years old, lice would be simply too annoying. The OP hasn't been online since before the forum switch, I doubt he will come back.

So let's a bump a 3-year-old thread just to tell people that!

I would prefer termites, though. Slowly eating your castle, block by block!

Lol, funny reference to Notch.
Attack, my minions!

...unique.
I think this is a wonderful suggestion for a desperate mod maker looking for ideas. As for being added in minecraft, I have no support.
