Well now.. having some experience with these it depends how bad they are. They types that live inside your arse or the stringy ones that hang outside (Ooohhh, these are the bad un's)
If you really love your bro, you could have a look and tell him just how bad they are?
I do have one of those torches that you strap to your head so I am halfway equipped for it...
Eeuugh! Never!
And that sounds awful. I hope he doesn't have the stringy ones!
