Pubic lice. Why were they so disliked by people?

Oh, and disliked people of these small, no more than three millimeters in size, insects! All strive to call them bad words, and sometimes associate with them and their enemies. Meanwhile, pubic lice - insects are very curious. For a long time, about three months, they are quite capable of living without a master. But only in a state of suspended animation. More than two days they can feel great under water. Survive under a thick layer of sand for four days and withstand a pressure of almost one and a half kilograms.

Being in activity, sex lice strictly observe the diet and eat at least four times a day. If at this moment they are torn off from the owner, they quickly perish. This amazing animal can not bear hunger. In addition, they terribly do not like a change of scenery, and once clinging to the hair, remain on it until their death. It is worth saying that the opinion that pubic lice can only be transmitted from untidy people is not entirely true. Even a quite respectable species can be a parasite. To date, experts are inclined to call it pubic pediculosis the most common sexually transmitted disease. It is by the number of diseases in this or that society that they are judged on his debauchery.

Amazing is the fact that pubic lice are quite selective. And if the new owner did not seem attractive and tasty to them, they will not live with him. However, if a person liked, the parasites quickly orient themselves and cling to his hair. When trying to remove an insect, it shows extraordinary activity and clings to the hair with all the strength with the help of three legs. Therefore, as a rule, sexual lice are removed only with the hair.

Transmission of parasites is possible both in contact with an infected person, and through infected bed linens and other things. Insects can be found in public solariums, swimming pools, baths and saunas. They prefer to be located in the groin area, but sometimes they can be found on other parts of the body, from the armpits to the eyelashes.

A person begins to scratch the itchy places, which further aggravates the situation.
