Does the paladin’s Lay on Hands feature cure parasites

class-featurediseasednd-5epaladin

My rogue is a very promiscuous individual. The paladin in the party is attempting to cure him of his STDs through a nightly application of Lay on Hands.

Would the Lay on Hands feature cure pubic lice?

I have read the description of Lay on Hands, and RAW it cures diseases and poison; however, I am conflicted on whether you could consider pubic lice a disease.

Best Answer

Many types of internal parasite, including the egg of the red slaad and the worm of the spawn of kyuss, are explicitly described as being killed by any effect that removes disease.

However, pubic lice are homebrew and we don't know if they follow the same rules as the parasites listed above. You'll have to ask your DM.
