Introduction
Pubic lice are a parasite that live in the pubic area and cause itching, irritation, and sometimes pain. They can be spread through sexual contact, but they are more likely to spread during sexual activity. Pubic lice typically infest people who have coarse hair or wool-like skin.

Pubic lice are parasitic insects found in the genital region. They are spread through sexual contact and can infect your partner’s pubic hair and even his or her entire body.
You may have heard of pubic lice, but you might not know how to treat them if you have them. If a loved one is infested with pubic lice, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible so that he or she does not spread them to others in close proximity (such as family members).
They are most commonly spread through sexual contact
Pubic lice are spread through sexual contact, which can be from kissing, oral sex and anal or vaginal intercourse. They also spread when you share clothing and bedding with an infected person (or even just stay in the same room as someone who has pubic lice). Things like towels, sheets and bedding can all become contaminated by the eggs of a pubic lice infestation.
There is a different species of louse for each hair on the body.
While there is only one species of louse that infests the pubic area, there are actually two different types of lice. One type is called the crab louse and another kind is called the pubic louse. The crab lice live on the body, while pubic lice prefer to hang out in your groin area.
Both kinds of pubic lice can be found on both men and women—but they’re most common in women due to their preference for hanging around hair follicles (the part where you grow hair).
Pubic lice can be spread from one person to another by direct skin-to-skin contact, but it is more likely to happen during sexual contact.
Pubic lice are spread by direct contact with an infested person. The lice can be spread during sexual contact, but it’s more likely to happen during oral sex. Lice have been known to live on the head and body of a person for at least 6 months before they’re discovered and removed by a doctor or nurse.
Pubic lice thrive in warm, moist environments like beds, towels and sheets where there is plenty of hair from both men and women present at one time (or multiple times). They can also live in clothing that has come into contact with an infected person’s pubic area (including underwear).
They are also easily spread by sharing clothing, sheets, towels, or other items that may have come into contact with an infested person.
Pubic lice are also easily spread by sharing clothing, sheets, towels or other items that may have come into contact with an infested person. They can be spread by sharing a bed with an infested person or by sharing a towel after showering. The diseases they carry can be passed from one person to another through sexual intercourse or even kissing.
Pets cannot get or transmit pubic lice.
You’ve probably heard of pubic lice, but are you sure you know what they are? The answer is simple: pubic lice are tiny insects that feed on human blood. They can be found in the genital area of people and animals (especially cats).
The term “lymphatic filariasis” refers to a disease caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, which causes lymphatic filariasis (LF). LF is spread through mosquitoes and other insects that bite humans while walking around during the day or night—and dogs can get infected without being bitten by an insect!
The adult pubic lice is a tiny, wingless insect that can be seen by the naked eye but can be confused with fleas or other parasites.
The adult pubic louse is a tiny, wingless insect that can be seen by the naked eye but can be confused with fleas or other parasites. It may also be referred to as “louse” or “phthiraptera.”
The adults are small enough to fit on your fingertip and have black bodies with white heads (the face). They have no legs and instead move by using their mouths to suck blood from you; this causes irritation around your genitals which causes redness and itchiness in that area.
The eggs of this parasite hatch within a few days after mating; they then go through several life stages before emerging from the ground where they lay eggs on hair follicles (or any other part where there’s lots of clothing). Once hatched into adults, these little guys crawl from place-to-place until they find something warm like yourself—and then begin sucking away at your blood!
It has six legs and three pairs of claws that help it grip onto coarse human hairs.

The louse has a flat body with no wings, but it does have an enormous mouth that helps it bite through coarse human hairs to get at your skin underneath. The louse’s mouthparts are not sharp enough to pierce your skin—but they do help grip onto those coarse hairs so you don’t notice them as much!
Female pubic lice will lay eggs (called nits) on the base of hair shafts, usually near the skin’s surface.
Nits are the eggs of a lice. They’re white, oval-shaped and about the size of a pinhead.
Pubic lice lay their nits on the base of hair shafts, usually near the skin’s surface. The sticky substance that attaches them to hair is made up of two types: gluey cement and protein bodycasings (egg cases).
The gluey cement helps hold together this sticky substance and keep it in place on your pubic area; this makes it harder for you or someone else with pubic lice to remove them from your skin.
Takeaway:
The takeaway of this article is that pubic lice are tiny insects that can be found on humans. They have six legs, three pairs of claws and a long snout-like mouthpart used to suck blood from their host’s skin. Female pubic lice lay eggs (called nits) on the base of hair shafts, usually near their skin’s surface where they will hatch into larvae that feed on blood until they become adults after four weeks or so.
The good news is that there are several things you can do if you think someone has pubic lice:
- Don’t forget about using an over-the-counter topical corticosteroid lotion such as Anusol AntiItch Cream or Miconazole 2% Cream (sold under various brand names). These products contain antihistamines like benzyl benzoate which help reduce itching caused by scabies mites infestation; most people find this product effective at controlling symptoms such as itchiness and irritation from scratch marks left behind from scratching away at affected areas repeatedly over time.* Make sure all clothing worn outside has been laundered in hot water prior to wearing again because clothes left unwashed will allow more opportunity for these pests to hide within them once again.* If possible remove any items belonging directly underneath beds where it’s likely for people spend much more time lying down during daytime hours then sitting up at night watching TV shows/reading books etcetera…
Conclusion
Pubic lice are tiny insects that can be found clinging to the genital area of people. They’re most commonly spread through sexual contact, though they can also be spread by sharing clothing, sheets, towels, or other items that may have come into contact with an infested person.
