FAQs

How to tell if you have crabs?

You may have pubic lice, commonly known as crabs, if you experience intense itching in the genital area due to lice bites. Other signs include visible tiny crab-like lice crawling on pubic or coarse body hair, seeing nits (lice eggs) attached at the base of hairs, dark or bluish spots from bites, and sometimes general discomfort or irritability. The lice are often visible to the naked eye, especially with a magnifying glass, and can also inhabit other coarse hair such as eyelashes or armpits.

What are the STI crabs?

STI crabs is a colloquial term for pubic lice, which are parasites that typically spread through close sexual contact. While pubic lice do not transmit diseases themselves and are not classified as an STI, they are often associated with sexual transmission because of how they spread. They cause itching and discomfort but do not cause infection beyond potential secondary skin irritation.

What does 'she's got crabs' mean?

The phrase 'she's got crabs' is informal slang meaning that a woman has contracted a pubic lice infestation. It is often used to describe someone who has this condition, typically acquired through sexual contact, causing itching and visible lice in the pubic area.

Are crabs hard to get rid of?

Pubic lice infestation is generally not difficult to treat. Effective over-the-counter or prescription treatments, such as lotions or shampoos containing permethrin or pyrethrins, can eliminate lice if used as directed. It is important to treat all sexual partners, wash clothing and bedding in hot water, and sometimes repeat treatment after 7-10 days to prevent reinfestation. Proper hygiene and following treatment instructions ensure successful eradication.
