It uses the crablike claws on its legs to grasp the hair of its host, on which female lice lay eggs. Eggs hatch into nits within 5 to 10 days and grow into egg-laying lice in about the same amount of time. A crab louse lives for about 6 weeks, but dies within 24 hours without blood. They do not pose a serious health threat, but are irritating, contagious, and indicate a risk for other STDs. Incidence and Prevalence According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 3 million people in the United States are infected annually.

Lice (Pediculosis) HOME After Hours Care Contact Us General Information ... What's New? Description Lice are bloodsucking members of the insect family that firmly attach to hairy skin and the seams of clothing. They cause itching when they inject saliva to obtain a blood meal. They affect all ages and social strata; however, head lice most often affect children, and pubic lice, known in the vernacular as "crabs", affect sexually- active individuals. Pubic Lice (Pthirus pubis) - This is contracted by close contact hence, it is considered a sexually-transmitted disorder. Itching is the primary symptom but individuals may notice orange debris, which is crab excreta. Lice can be identified as individual, gray-brown, 1 mm to 2 mm, crab-like insects clinging to the pubic hair. Also, a nondescript rash may be generated by allergy to the crabs combined with scratching. Body Lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) - Not nearly as common as pubic lice, body lice are usually found in the seams and interstices of clothing. They may cause individual itchy bumps on the chest. The latter should prompt a look at recently-worn clothing. Presumptive treatment can be considered if circumstances suggest this infestation. Treatment is identical to that for pubic lice. Head Lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) - The head louse is a problem mainly for children and occasionally causes mini-epidemics in schools. Head lice cause scalp itching and can be found at the scalp line near the ears and the back of the head. Excessive shampooing may make them difficult to find. Sometimes, only the 1 mm cocoon-like nits (eggs) attached to base of hairs can be detected. Children and adults with head lice are treated the same as pubic lice except that repeat treatments in one week and attention to nit removal (using white vinegar and a fine flea comb) are usually recommended.

General Characteristics: This picture represents adult head lice, male and female, and their nits, or eggs. The nits are attached to a human hair. The picture is of course substantially enlarged compared to the real organisms, which are described as being "the size of a sesame seed" in some publications. Pubic lice are somewhat smaller. Control and Prevention: Head lice (2-3mm with a flat elongated body) are spread by the communal use of combs, brushes, hats, or personal contact. Control is achieved by washing the hair with a shampoo that contains a pesticide. There are many brands of lice control shampoos that can be obtained over the counter at most pharmacies. Combs, brushes, clothing, and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally. Pubic lice (1.5 to 2mm with a crab like body) are usually spread by sexual contact but crowding clothing together in lockers or dorms cannot be discounted. Control is achieved by washing the infested hair with a shampoo that contains a pesticide. Clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally. Body lice (similar to Head lice but more robust) are spread by the sharing of unwashed clothing and in overcrowded living conditions. Control is achieved by washing the body with a shampoo or soap that contains a pesticide. Clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried normally.
