These critters, known scientifically as phthirus pubis , are tiny, wingless insects that nest in pubic hair and dine on blood. They are most often spread by sexual contact, although they can be transmitted via close body contact, clothes, bedding, and furniture. Seeing your lice lounging around and laying eggs might gross you out, but at least your eye sight is pretty good. A hairy man might also discover lice around his anus, or on his legs, chest, and even facial hair. If you have sexual partners, they should also de-louse.
Treatment usually works quickly.
Alice is getting itchy just thinking about these little buggers, but at least you and many others who at sometime play host to these annoying pests can take some comfort in knowing that they are little more than a nuisance.
