Patient's question:
I've always been in good health and pay close attention to hygiene, so how could I get crabs?Doctor's answer:
This disease is infectious. The patient or their spouse may have a history of unclean sexual contact, or they may have become ill after staying in a hotel or other accommodation before the onset of symptoms. The causative agent of pubic lice is an ectoparasite called pubic lice. Both the larvae and adult lice feed on human blood. Pubic lice generally do not leave the pubic hair area, but only leave the original host during sexual intercourse to infect a new host. Like other types of lice infestation, pubic lice can also transmit diseases such as relapsing fever and typhus.
