    OMFG I’m old. Yeah, pubic lice are tiny insects (lice) that live on your junk. VERY itchy, otherwise harmless.

    Got 'em once and then they came back a couple of months later. Slept in my dad’s guest room after his best friend. Didn’t even get laid!

    Anyway, once internet porn became a thing everyone started shaving their pubes. That was mostly the end of 'em. Saw a crazy story out of Britain where people were volunteering to host them, keep the species alive for study.

    If you catch these rare creatures, like a Pokemon from hell, you need nothing special to kill 'em off. I read the ingredients on a bottle of lice shampoo, nothing more than bug spray (pyrethrins) mixed with shampoo. Shave your junk, mix household bug spray into shampoo, wash every bit of your clothes and bedclothes in hot, soapy water, done. Use pyrethrins! I cannot vouch for any other shit you find in your cabinets!
