Lice and Headphones? Lousy Headphones? Prevention

We have attached headphones on the computers in the lab. We have had
several cases of lice. The headphones are made of naugahyde plastic on th=
e
outside with foam on the inside. I have been asked to wipe them down with
water between each use. Does anyone have experience with this?

If I were a louse I would find a better place to deplane than plastic
headphones. My understanding that given 72 hrs the nits and lice die so
over the weekend we start fresh.

Any advice would be great. I want to stay away from chemical wipes.
