Having almost any type of contact with a person.
Yes, crabs and other nasties.
The Crabitus louse is a parasite which lives in human pubic hair and can be caught by contact with an already infected person, usually during intercourse.

You get pubic lice from genital contact with a person who has got pubic lice too. ?It is a different sort of louse that people get in their hair. ?You can't catch pubic lice from a toilet seat or a chair or anything like that. ?


Pubic lice have to be treated with a special lotion you buy from a chemist. Treatment usually involves applying the lotion four times over two weeks, although different lotions have different instructions. ?


You should wash your bed linen at a high temperature and iron it well to destroy any lice eggs that may be there waiting to hatch. ?Also your underwear, and anywhere else you can think of that might have louse eggs waiting to hatch. ?You can buy fumigating cans from chemists. ?As they have to kill insects, germs and eggs, they are poisonous. ?You should vacuum your house thoroughly, put any household pets in kennels for the day, close all the windows and start the fumigation. ?Then get out and stay out for however long the instructions on the packet tell you. ?When you come back, open all the windows to let fresh air through the place. ?Vacuum again thoroughly and dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag in an outside rubbish bin. ?


Always read the labels of lotions and fumigating agents, and if you are not sure, ask the pharmacist. ?They have studied for years to know the answers to questions like that. ?Better safe than sorry.


By using a come from someone else that has lice, but might, and not know
smearing the vaginal area on your face
People can also get pubic lice from using the bedding, towels, or clothes of an infected person.
Pubic lice (also called crab lice, or simply crabs) generally spread only through close physical contact between individuals, like during sexual intercourse, but they can also be spread by sharing towels, clothes, beds or closets with an infected household member.
you have sexual contact with someone who has pubic lice aka crabs.

Pubic lice usually appear first on pubic hair, but may spread to other parts of the body, particularly if the patient is very hairy.
