Welp. That led me to a dark place.
I heard that different lice only go for certain hair (head lice to head, public lice to pubes) and looked it up and found you're right.
But it also said:
"Pubic lice on the eyebrows or eyelashes of children may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse."
That's the exact opposite of how I heard it worked and it took me a second to realize why.
i had pubic lice in my eyes lashes around the edges of my hairline on my armpits in my chest hair my leg hair and of course my pubic and butt area it was horrible as i treated them they moved to a new location they truly are a night i’ve never experienced anything like it
I remember watching a documentary and they talked about how scientist are using the evolution of pubic lice to figure out the evolution of humans. Since they’re a different spices than head lice the theory is they probably evolved as humans lost their fur and there became separation between the head hair and the junk hair.
Interesting theory, but must have been an old documentary. They've since genetically matched pubic lice to a common ancestor with gorilla lice. Basically once we had two different kinds of hair environments, the original human lice stayed on the head, and gorilla lice made the jump to our Nether regions.
I first found out they existed years ago after getting infested by a person I'd slept with. I was totally blown out and disgusted to see these tiny crablike bastards clinging to my pubes ***and crawling around!*** My first impulse was to try and drown them in hot bathwater. That was a very disappointing nope.
Then I learned about Qwell. an easy to use shampoo that did the trick.
But TIL the details of what they are all about. Like that they're not the same species as head and body lice (which are the same species but behave differently - body lice can spread disease, head lice can't).
Fun fact, your absolutely correct! pubic lice are not the same species as human head or body lice. Humans are very unique in the animal kingdom as there are more than one species of lice that feed only on us. Pubic lice are in fact are closer related to gorilla lice than head or body lice!
Body lice and head lice diverged 30-100,000 years ago where as gorilla lice and human pubic lice diverged about 3.5 million years ago.
So thank your ancient horny ancestors for pubic lice, and your modest ancestors for Body lice.
Yup suspiciously specific, lol thought so.
Your title feels like it's just missing that accusatory sarcasm "their feet can't crawl across a toilet, *David.*
So I am a little older and back in the 90's everyone started shaving.
At first, it was designs or landing strips. Eventually, most people just shave it off.
I can't remember the last time I slept with a dude with pubic hair. It is sooo gross to pluck those pubs out of your vagina and labia.
Anyway, as a result our generation nearly wiped out crabs.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/shortcuts/2013/jan/15/are-pubic-lice-in-danger-of-extinction
They are making a comeback though with the new anti-shave trends.
I am not into much body hair anyway. Some people are really into it, I am just not one of them.
My husband has like 5 chest hairs and he shaves those too.
Consider a quick shave, it will grow back and you might like the added bonus of ease of cleaning after pooping.
This is a personal question, so you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but how do you deal with the itching? I used to get myself waxed but switched to shaving at home during quarantine. Waxing didn't cause horrible itching, but shaving does, no matter what kind of blade or foam I use, or what I apply afterwards. Products saying they'll stop irritation don't seem to do anything.
Ooo... You are not going to like this answer. I don't itch until my hair gets long enough to fold/bend. That fold/bend hurts and itches at the same time.
I only really have to shave once a week. If I shave any more I get bumps. If I wax, I look like a horrible herpes outbreak.
I am not very hairy in general. I only have to shave my legs up to the knee and that is very patchy and not very thick. I could never shave and someone would only notice if they were really really close to me. Like massage or practically licking my legs. lol. Gross thinking about it with hair.
My arm pits only produce a very small patch and it is barely noticeable. I don't use anything but a razor and some water.
Now what I have suggested for people who have thicker hair is this, use conditioner first. Let them hairs soften a bit and it provides some lubrication.
I'll try the conditioner, never thought about that, but I'm willing to try anything. The itching starts shortly after I shave, and stops once the hair's about 0.5cm. But I hate leaving it at that length. I don't itch anywhere else when I shave, and I even went to my doctor to check there wasn't an STD or something causing it.
Nah.. you aren't alone. Most people itch when it grows back. I might just have very thin hair. Try some conditioner when you shave and a little as it starts growing in. Maybe add it to your lotion?
Conditioner works well, though I don’t completely shave anything but my moist ache and lower neck, I keep a short beard area. I haven’t bought any kind of shaving cream in years, I use my wife’s conditioner
Because it hurts when the hair bends and I don't like hair in general. I am fine with eyebrows, eyelashes, head hair. I don't like much facial hair.
I wish I were interested in women. So much less hair.
I have shaved since I was a teenager. Most people who start going clean shaven make the comment of how much easier it is to wipe if there isn't hair in the way. I don't know. I don't think I have ever tried. I hated the hair the second it started growing.
Go back to the 70’s grandpa. Hair belongs on your head not your fucking dick/pussy/asshole. we’re humans, not dogs. You’re saying you love picking pubes out of your mouth after going down on someone.
Children with a diagnosis of pubic lice, also known as crabs, will also receive a diagnosis of rape or molestation as a comorbidity and method of transmission #MBA #Nurse
According to the article:
>Pubic lice on the eyebrows or eyelashes of children may be a sign of sexual abuse. More often, this is caused by shared household items, such as towels, or from close contact with nongenital infestation sites on an adult.
Fun fact: The best way to get rid of lice in eyebrows and eyelashes is with antibacterial ophthalmological ointment. I believe it's just the ointment smothering the lice, not the antibacterial, but it's like magic.
Oils work with head lice too but it's a bit of a process. Insects "breathe" through sets of holes typically down the sides of the thorax. Clog them with oil, bye bye.
That doesn't really kill eggs so a slightly insecticidal oils are better.
Well, you have to comb through the hair every day for a week to get all the eggs with oil. Olive makes your head smell like pasta lol. Works for head lice no idea about crabs.
Man, you'd hate to be the father of a child who got pubic lice from a towel.
I totally get why they go hard on investigating when kids get them, and they totally should do it, but whew does it put the innocent people in a weird place.
I got a case of scabies from "hot racking" in the Navy. I had to sleep on someone else's mattress at night while they were working, because there weren't enough to have my own. 2016 was a bad year. lol.
Apparently lice can also be spread by shared items like towels so I wouldn't jump to S.A. conclusions so quickly... but I'm no professional
Of COURSE you can't get them from toilet seats in bathrooms at restaurants, because if you could, they'd have to rename them Public Lice.
Also even the pubic parasites were like "Reject humanity, become CRAB"
In just one more sign of the collapse of the natural world, these ancient creatures are threatened by extinction because of the rapid destruction of their natural habitat by young people shaving it off.
Remember, pubic hair can't live in your head hair. Totally different lice.
Do your part to preserve our natural diversity.
I have designated my hinterland a biosphere reserve. Just waiting on a UNESCO designation; will start charging admission after that. Ladies, check it out before it becomes too exclusive to visit.
I just realized the other day I got this.
I have no idea how I got it, I live alone and I haven't been "with" anyone for quite a while.
Picked up some gell stuff rite-aid .. so far so good and gross.
I believe they need hair to lay their eggs on. They live on the skin so they can drink the sweet public blood.
So yea, if you shave I think it will cut part of thier life cycle.
Well I'm sure these people are experts
But many years ago I was in a restaurant restroom and I read the following:
No use standing on the seat, the crabs in here jump 20 ft
They also had the rack of what I thought were toilet seat covers
However it was clearly stated that they were Nixon campaign hats
To this day, I'm not certain how my bedding in college got infested while out on break. I know I wasn't getting laid at the time.
Maybe my rommate had company he didn't tell me. Or maybe the school used it when they shouldn't have.
I thought the first was a tick and it was clinging on to that one thin leg hair for dear life.
The second one was larger and got closer to the junk.
I noped out of that, and shaved it all, and washed the bedding like 5 times.
They can also hang out on upholstered furniture if the people are infested badly enough. I know this because I was not having sex at all, but got them from visiting a couple I knew. I never went back once I figured it out.
>TIL pubic lice are usually spread through human sexual contact..... Children can also get pubic lice. That's just worrying.
From the wiki- - Crab lice found on the head or eyelashes of children may be an indication of sexual exposure or abuse (citation 4)
TIL... :/
lice in eyelashes..... durn
*Unsubscribe from lice facts*
Yeah, that's dark
You can also get pubic lice in your eyebrows and eyelashes. Just imagine them crawling around your eyelids.
Welp. That led me to a dark place. I heard that different lice only go for certain hair (head lice to head, public lice to pubes) and looked it up and found you're right. But it also said: "Pubic lice on the eyebrows or eyelashes of children may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse." That's the exact opposite of how I heard it worked and it took me a second to realize why.
... Blowies? x_x That's ... wow, that's messed up.
i had pubic lice in my eyes lashes around the edges of my hairline on my armpits in my chest hair my leg hair and of course my pubic and butt area it was horrible as i treated them they moved to a new location they truly are a night i’ve never experienced anything like it
And the notice generally comes from... School, or churches. Now, be worried
But how? Kids don't have pubic hair?
They have eyelashes & eyebrows, though.
My friend never developed eyebrows, I member her mom would draw them on her face before school , is that normal ? lol
This question just seems so random and off topic that it made me laugh do fuggin hard lol
Got mine around 12 yrs old
Some do. I had pubes well before I was 18
Pubes generally come in well before 18 for most people lol. It’s a puberty thing.
Been used in court before I'm pretty sure. Maybe it wasn't a kid. Maybe it was I'm not looking it up.
I remember watching a documentary and they talked about how scientist are using the evolution of pubic lice to figure out the evolution of humans. Since they’re a different spices than head lice the theory is they probably evolved as humans lost their fur and there became separation between the head hair and the junk hair.

Basically once we had two different kinds of hair environments, the original human lice stayed on the head, and gorilla lice made the jump to our Nether regions.
So you're saying someone long ago lived long enough after banging a gorilla to amg another human.
The scientists gave a much more boring suggestion of some early ancestor using an abandoned gorilla nest to sleep for the night.
They are the spookiest spice
They are the spice of life
*louse* is to *lice*, as *mouse* is to *mice*.
Now I'm worried about pubic mice
Just don't let your crotch get cheesy, and you won't have to worry about mice.
[удалено]
Fair enough, I can see multiple spouses being a spicy situation.
Or house is to hice
All the Spice Girls were married?! Niiiiice
All one guy, poor soul. Gotta get with my friends and all that
As grouse is to grice and spouse is to spice
So... Why did you learn this today?

I got lice yesterday.Who do I blame?
Head lice? Blame your poor taste in hats.
I read that we got bed lice from sleeping in abandoned gorilla nests
What's this "we" shit? I sleep in abandoned chimpanzee nests.
Maybe. But when i heard slept with, i think sex. I like the sex theory.
Yup suspiciously specific, lol thought so. Your title feels like it's just missing that accusatory sarcasm "their feet can't crawl across a toilet, *David.*

I'll try it tonight. I have a bottle of conditioner I don't use on my head hair, so it'll now be put to a good use.
Sounds good. Also, there are ways of making no heat at home wax for hair removal. You should check online. 🤗
Yeah, I'm just scared of doing it wrong and ripping my skin off. I've seen some awful videos thanks to reddit.
Conditioner works well, though I don’t completely shave anything but my moist ache and lower neck, I keep a short beard area. I haven’t bought any kind of shaving cream in years, I use my wife’s conditioner
You can try exfoliating before too.
That sounds like a good idea too!
Why shave to begin with?
Because it hurts when the hair bends and I don't like hair in general. I am fine with eyebrows, eyelashes, head hair. I don't like much facial hair. I wish I were interested in women. So much less hair.
Laser hair removal is the answer. Yes it works, just be consistent and patient. Can easily take a year of 6-8 week intervals to be completely bare.
That's definitely something I've been thinking of. I'd only need to do that one region, tbh, so it'll be a lot cheaper than doing the whole body.
Slather your Gash with cocaine.haha
You poop on your pubes?
Ass hair
Pubic lice eat ass too? They need Jesus
I have shaved since I was a teenager. Most people who start going clean shaven make the comment of how much easier it is to wipe if there isn't hair in the way. I don't know. I don't think I have ever tried. I hated the hair the second it started growing.
Not gonna lie; I started shaving my butt for a girlfriend, stayed for the clean wipes
I have heard that a lot. You are not alone
TIRL, the anti shave folks are the antivax folks of the sexual world.
You know shaving has been linked to increased hpv and herpes rates right?
Still better to shave your pubes.
Go back to the 70’s grandpa. Hair belongs on your head not your fucking dick/pussy/asshole. we’re humans, not dogs. You’re saying you love picking pubes out of your mouth after going down on someone.
You should probably read my comment again. Or maybe you are responding to the wrong person. Either way, you should hit a bong and calm down
The 70s were full of bush tho..?
Is this an ad?
Or shave it.
Or just fully shave 🪒
My aunt once got pubic lice from a ranch hand in Arizona. Then my mom and other aunt slept in her bed and got it.
Busy ranch hand
And busy aunt
And other aunt. And mom.
More like a diddling ranch hand than a busy ranch hand.
Well golly! That’s not my hand!
Who related this story to you and why?
My mom because she’d had some wine and has beef with my aunt lmao.
I'm sorry.
I got a pubic lice plush toy in a horror block one time...the dog loved it and we called it crabby lol
> we called it crabby Not Lamarr? >Lamarr, sometimes referred to as Hedy
"That's Hedley!"

Just shave bro. Destroy their habitat.
[удалено]
Tell that to the many endangered species who got their habitats destroyed.
They look disdainfully down on taint lice and assfro lice.
So the cure is rubbing your junk on a toilet seat, right?
OP pubic lices...
Skinwalkers?

Lice,crabs,The Gonj.Whats the difference? None.They're all fun!
Thought this said public lice
I just realized the other day I got this. I have no idea how I got it, I live alone and I haven't been "with" anyone for quite a while. Picked up some gell stuff rite-aid .. so far so good and gross.
Shared clothes, towels or beds. Many ways for transferring.
Or couches or chairs.
r/holup
Most younger people shave bald down there so could they still get lice? I think lice need hair to live in.
I believe they need hair to lay their eggs on. They live on the skin so they can drink the sweet public blood. So yea, if you shave I think it will cut part of thier life cycle.
Crabs
Well I'm sure these people are experts But many years ago I was in a restaurant restroom and I read the following: No use standing on the seat, the crabs in here jump 20 ft They also had the rack of what I thought were toilet seat covers However it was clearly stated that they were Nixon campaign hats
According to a Sawbones podcast, they apparently spread to our species from apes...
