How many people have pubic lice?
It is impossible to know how many people are truly infected with any given disease. Pubic Lice (Crabs) are parasites that are transmitted by close contact with a person who is infected. They are very common and are often found among younger people who are sexually active. Statistics show that 50% of sexually active high school students will be infected with an STD. The spread of pubic lice is not inhibited by condom use, so prevention strategies are limited to abstinence.

Shaving is not a bad idea, but sometimes shaving is not sufficient because some of the eggs may have gotten into your bedding (wash in HOT water and use bleach), or some may be living on the hair on your thighs, around your butt, etc. You might still need to use a topical insecticide.Dr. Karl.AnswerShaving will not completely get rid of them. You may still need to see a doctor as pubic lies can penetrate your skin and start laying eggs, which might eventually end up in your blood stream.Adult pubic lice are 1.1-1.8 mm in length.

Shaving your pubic hair can make the area very itchy. After a few days, when the hair begins to grow back, it itches like crazy. This is one reason why many women prefer to wax the area, instead of shaving.
How did the first lice get on the first person?
Head lice crawled on the very first victim they attacked. Many people think that head lice jump, but they don't have knees.
Do flies carry lice from head to head?
There are many different species of lice that are species specific. Human lice only live on humans, but there are bird lice, dog lice, cattle lice, etc. Many lice even limit their habitat to a particular part of the body, like the pubic louse. There have been reports of lice using Hippoboscidae flies, or louse flies to travel from one host (especially a dying host) to another (alive and well) host. The process of one species carrying another is call phoresy. These lice are mainly those of the suborder Ishnocera. Most lice in this suborder are bird lice, although some are mammalian lice. I have not seen any studies or reports of human head lice using phoresy to transfer to new hosts.
