Is it possible to get pubic lice from trying on clothes?

Yes yes yes.\nAll of these people who are telling you he's lying are wrong, you can get pubic lice from trying on clothes.  It's not really unlikely at all.  You can also get them from a toilet seat if the person who had them sits and then you sit after them.  You can also catch Hepatitis B from sitting on a toilet seat(that one is rare, but possible).  You should get tested, just because it's possible doesn't mean he's not lieing, but I think you should reserve judgement.

Dip her hair in olive oil.  I know it sounds gross, but imagine head lice, or oil in hair?\n\nIt works because the lice need clean hair to move around in and breath.  If you dip your hair in olive oil, they can't breath.  Plus, the eggs of the lice can't hatch because the oil is sticking it all down.

I read in a magazine that if you use lice shampoo it will work, but I don't know for sure or how long before the test you have to use it. Check into it.

It sounds like crabs to me. I found this description at myDNA.com:\n\nCrab Lice \n  \nCrabs, or pubic lice, are tiny, barely visible parasites (scientific name Pthirus pubis) that live in the pubic area and cause itching. ("Lice" is plural; the singular is "louse"). Pubic lice are commonly called crabs because they are shorter and rounder than head lice and body lice, making them resemble crabs. They are usually found in the pubic hair, but can also be found in other body areas with short hair (eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, mustache).Pubic LouseCopyright © 2005 Nucleus Communications, Inc.

Pretty common. I had it when I was about 9 or 10. It was embarassing, but it happens to alot of kids.\nI remember my mom freaking out. She practically bobbed my hair short and bought the special shampoo for head lice.

My little sisters went through a terrible bout with head lice, and the only thing that worked, short of shaving their heads, was applying mayonnaise before bed, then leaving it in over night (they wore shower caps to bed).  This finally did the trick.

The cheapest and fastest way... Put rubbing alcohol on your head.. soak your hair, wrap a towel around your head... leave it for about an hour. After that, put a white towel on the floor and comb your hair down so that the lice can drop on the towel. Once you see no more lice dropping, go shower and wash your hair of course. One treatment usually does the trick AND it gets rid of the eggs.

Pubic Lice (Pediculosis Pubis, "Crabs")\nEssential facts\nCrab lice are small, light brown, flat insects that cling to the pubic hairs, suck blood for nourishment, and fix their eggs (nits) to the pubic hairs. The blood sucking may cause little red sores and itching. Crab lice are almost always spread by close physical contact. They prefer pubic hair and do not voluntarily leave the body.\n\nTransmission\nThe disease is transmitted mainly by close body contact (including sexual activity).\n\nTreatment of Crabs\nBathe thoroughly and towel dry. \n\nApply permethrin liquid (for example, "Quellada Creme rinse") over the entire skin area from chest to knees. The liquid should be applied to clean but cool and dry skin. \n\nLeave on for 20 minutes only. Bathe and dry. \n\nComb pubic hair with a fine tooth comb to remove any eggs. \n\nWash all clothing, bedding and towels used in the past two days. Dry cleaning can also be used. \n\nThe itch may persist for a few days after successful treatment. \n\nRepeat the treatment in 7 to 10 days. Sexual partners also require treatment.

you have to put everything that can not be washed in plastic bags (IE: stuffed animals, and other things that shouldn't go in the washer) then go to the store and there in the area where you find the shampoo to get lice out of your head you will find a spray get it spray all your furniture and carpets. wash and dry everything that can be washed then wash your hair with the shampoo make sure to use the comb provided to get all the lice out of your head cause just washing it wont get them all out you also need to make sure all the eggs are out and washing alone wont do that either. then do the same with you mother wash her hair and use the comb on it. but you have to make sure you spray everything with the spray (beds, furniture, every and anything that you can not put in the washer or plastic bag needs to be sprayed) i don't think there is an insect spray for this but you can look around in your local wal-mart or k-mart.  but i know for a fact that what i have told you works cause i have been through it all before and as far as the pubic lice i would go to the DR and STOP letting anyone but you and your mom use your bathroom.

If you've had unprotected sex recently, or even protected, there is a possibilty it could be pubic lice.  Also, I know that personally when I get itchy it's because of dry skin or because of razorburn, hope that helps!

You should poo in your pants whenever it itches.  The poo will help!

It could easily be that, but it may also be Head lice... First try a head lice remover shampoo and comb then after 10 days do it again, if its still really itchy go to the doctor, as I don't know what else other than those two things, could be...

go get some lice shampoo at your local pharmacy and treat your head just in case.  if you put your head on any object since the hat went on your head you may want to get the lice killing spray which will be next to the shampoo at your local pharmacy (i used to work at cvs)

Not sure, ask your doctor next time you go.\n\nOne thing you can do tho is go to the bathroom more often... you would be wiping more often so as much might not get on your underware... \n\n*shrug* Just a thought, hope it helps.

I know of nothing. Most people use a fine tooth comb to remove the eggs.  When we were girls with long hair, my Mom would sit us in front of a bright window and manually slide each nit from each shaft of hair(the best method).  It hurts no matter what method you use. You are pulling and tugging on a strand of hair. I did the same with my daughters when they brought lice home from pre-school.  \n\nYou should repeat the lice shampoo 2 weeks after wards and recheck the head.  You will have phantom itching for years.\n\nYou have to be super clean with all your linens.  You have to wash all your bedding in HOT water and soap, and all your towels(I boiled mine).  Vacuum all your upholstered furniture. Clean, or throw away all hats. \n\nSome people from third world countries just shave the heads of the victim.  I'm sure you've seen pretty little girls in dresses with no hair.  Such a shame.  Trauma for the child, I'm sure.

I don't know where they come from, either, but you don't have to have poor hygiene to contract lice.  It's usually spread by little kids who are in close contact with one another- one kid has it, and soon the whole class has it, and then their families can get it.  We should teach children not to share combs/brushes, etc., and check their hair regularly to stop the spread of lice.

To remove lice, you can purchase a product otc at your drugstore such as quell, nix, pronto, etc. You can also buy a special comb and some products even include this comb.   Be sure to also clean all the bedding and towels in hot water and vacuum any padded furniture as well every day until the infestation is cured. LIce can live for a day or so and their eggs can survive up to a week when OFF the human host so cleaning properly helps contain the possibility of re-investation or spreading hte lice to others.\n\nAs for the comb, you can buy special de-lousing combs.  Follow the directions exactly.  You also need to clean the comb frequently during the combing process.  This process takes several hours a night and must be repeated every day until no more active lice are seen (will take several days, possibly a week).  You comb one small section at a time.\n\nEvery day, be sure to clean all your combs and brushes to dispose of any lice or nits.
