Pubic lice (sometimes called crabs) are parasites that infest the pubic region and other areas of the human body that have coarse hair. These parasites are usually transmitted through sexual contact. Less commonly, they may be spread through nonsexual physical contact (e.g., sharing towels, clothing or a bed with an infested person).


Learn more about this friendly critter on the Sexual Health webpage.  Now all I need to do is quit scratching my head in sympathy with those who've dealt with this.  YUCK!!!
