Oh, and they used to hand out chemicals, such as Lindane, that is supposed to be a lice repellent, to the homeless, except they'd hand out the agricultural version, and in amounts that were 10x the recommended amount for the FDA medically approved version. It is a health risk to be exposed to large amounts of the agricultural version and can cause seizures, cancer, and death. Knowing that it causes cancer and is toxic, they'd hand out mass quantities to the homeless promising that it would rid them of lice. It did, and killed many in the process, much like how the settlers would hand out blankets to the Native Americans that were laced with small pox.
