I heard that because of the extreme measures he took to have dreadlocks, there were 47 different types of headlice found when he passed away. Is this true?

1)
This is probably the biggest myth about dreadlocks. One popular urban legend concerning this myth is that when Bob Marley died of cancer in 1981, the doctors found a few dozen new species of lice in his hair. This simply is not true. Far from being dirty savages, Africans have had methods of cleaning and caring for braids and dreadlocks for centuries. With today's modern science, even more ways exist to clean dreads with commercial soaps and solutions specifically designed for this style of hair. Scores of these dread care products are available online.

Bob Marley did not have head lice or ticks as other have said. He was bald when he died from all of the chemotherapy; he had received.

I've heard that, but I'm sure 47 different types must be an exaggeration. Sounds like a myth to me.. :)
