I read the article, and I'd rather not imagine it, thanks.

The defector's story and condition are horrific. But after watching Andrew Zimmern eat grubs, ants, etc and drink blood, lice doesn't seem that shocking. Of course, he and his hosts have options.

I recommend the book "Nothing to Envy," about North Korean defectors. Many of them document their lives during the famine.
