• #1 Crabs on Pubic Hair: Transmission, Bites, STI Screening

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/crabs-std-8640880

  Pubic lice (Pthirus pubis), commonly known as crabs, are tiny, blood-feeding parasites that sometimes live and lay their eggs in body hair, especially pubic hair. Infestations of pubic lice, or pediculosis pubis, are usually transmitted through sexual contact. […] While pediculosis pubis is often a sexually transmitted infection (STI) (sometimes called a sexually transmitted disease, or STD), pubic lice can also spread through other forms of close contact, including sharing personal items such as towels. […] Since crabs can be passed through contact, it is best to maintain safer sex practices in general. Avoid sexual contact with those who have known crabs or similar symptoms. If you have any itching, rash, or see actual crabs, see your healthcare provider right away. […] In rare cases, you can get crabs from nonsexual contact with someone else’s personal items. For example, some people get crabs from using or sleeping on infested towels, bedsheets, clothing, sleeping bags, razors, or blankets.

  Pubic lice can affect all races / ethnicities in all levels of society. Men are more commonly affected by public lice, possibly because they have more coarse body hair. […] Avoid intimate contact with partners and avoid sharing personal items with others if you have pubic lice. Note that condoms do not prevent the transmission of pubic lice. If you are diagnosed with pubic lice, sexual partners within the prior 1-3 months should be notified and treated as well. […] Launder in hot water any clothing, linens, and towels that have come in contact with the infected person in the past 3 days. Seal potentially contaminated nonwashable objects in plastic bags for 2 weeks. (The lice will die within 2 days, and the nits will hatch and die within 2 weeks.) Avoid scratching the skin, as scratching can cause a secondary bacterial infection.

  The incidence of pubic lice infestations is estimated to be between 1.3% and 4.6%, with an average incidence of 2% worldwide. […] It is hypothesized that the destruction of this pubic hair habitat may account for the falling incidence of pubic lice and may possibly lead to its eradication or atypical presentation. […] A significant and strong correlation between the falling incidence of pubic lice infections and increase in pubic hair removal was observed, with a Pearson correlation r value of 0.9686 (95% confidence intervals, 0.88-0.992). […] The increased incidence of hair removal may lead to atypical patterns of pubic lice infestations or its complete eradication as the natural habitat of this parasite is destroyed.

Pubic lice can cause intense itching in the genital area, which may lead to sores. Pubic lice do not spread diseases to humans.
