Facts About Crab Lice:

The pubic louse (lice:)

 – May look like a tiny scab on skin or in pubic hairs.  

 – Caused by the louse named Pediculosis pubis.

 – Symptoms (itching) appear about 5 days after exposed

 – Itching in pubic and groin area is due to a reaction to bites

 of the louse that is sucking blood from  your skin.

 – Blue spots occur on the skin where the lice bites you.

 – The female louse lays eggs and glues them to your pubic hair.  

 – Eggs hatch within 5-10 days.

Transmission:

 – Sexual activity with another person can allow the lice to move to your body and make a home there.

 – Crab lice do not feed regularly and can live up to 24 hours away from a human host

    …like on a towel, a hat, or in clothing.

 – If you have a friend infected with crab lice and you use their clothing or towels,

    you may also become infested.

 – Animals do not get or spread pubic lice.

 – Head lice are different to crab lice.

Treatment:

There are a number of medications, both prescription and non-prescription creams, that can be used to kill the lice.  Ask your doctor.  You will also have to wash or dry clean all your clothes, bed linens, and towels to ensure complete removal.  Dead nits and lice can be removed from your pubic hair and even eyebrows with a special fine-toothed comb.
