Pubic lice, also known as crabs, are tiny insects (about 2mm long) that live on coarse human body hair, such as pubic hair.
Pubic lice are not linked to poor personal hygiene.
How do I get pubic lice?
It can take up to 3 weeks after coming into contact with pubic lice before you notice any symptoms.
They are spread through close body contact with someone who has them, most commonly sexual contact.
The lice crawl from hair to hair but can’t fly or jump. They need human blood to survive, so generally only leave the body to move from one person to another.
Pubic lice don’t live on other animals such as cats or dogs.
It’s also possible for pubic lice to be spread through sharing clothes, towels and bedding.
The most common symptom of pubic lice is itchy red spots. The itching is caused by an allergy to the louse saliva or poo.
It can take 1 to 3 weeks for itching to develop after the first infestation, and it’ll usually be worse at night.
Adult pubic lice are tiny – smaller than a match head. They’re grey-brown in colour and have 6 legs. The 2 pairs of back legs are much larger and look like the pincer claws of a crab. They use these to grasp onto your hair.
Pubic lice eggs are tiny, yellow-white ovals, which are stuck firmly to the base of your hairs.
You may also notice the following symptoms:
Topically apply, 5 drops Frankincense/Myrrh Blend and blend in 3 drops Tea Tree 5ml 10ml, over the pubic area, twice a day.
Further apply 5 drops of the Parasite Blend, but first test a small area to ensure it does not burn the skin.
Apply a drop each; Citronella 5ml 10ml, Myrrh 5ml 10ml, and Tea Tree 5ml 10ml on a pantyliner, and wear during the day.
