Brazilian bikini wax making crab lice endangered

Some might call them vain, but fans of pubic hair removal have a new argument for their painful habit: stopping the spread of crabs. Doctors in the U.S. and Australia have seen a dramatic decline in the number of people affected by pubic lice in the past decade since the style of grooming known as a Brazilian wax has gained popularity.

Pubic lice, crab-shaped insects which suck on the blood of hosts that most often make their home in pubic hair, have been with humans for thousands of years. But an increased focus on hair removal has curbed cases of lice dramatically. In Australia, Sydney's largest sexual health clinic has not seen a case of pubic lice among women since 2008, according to Bloomberg.

"It used to be extremely common; it's now rarely seen," Basil Donovan, head of sexual health at the University of New South Wales and a physician at the Sydney Sexual Health Centre, told Bloomberg. "Without doubt, it's better grooming."

"Pubic grooming has led to a severe depletion of the crab louse populations," added Ian F. Burgess, a medical entomologist with Insect Research & Development in England. "Add to that other aspects of body hair depilation, and you can see an environmental disaster in the making for this species."

A 2011 paper from Kenyon College in Ohio found that the majority of college-aged men and women in the U.S. remove all or part of their pubic hair. A 2005 study in the U.K. found that 99 percent of British women 16 years or older remove at least some of their hair.

In the short term, the eradication of crab lice thanks to our preference of keeping it "bare down there" seems nice, but who knows what sort of devastating results that their removal from our ecosystem could cause?

because the farkin xtians got their claws into the koreans there are no visual representations of crotches allowed in media so it's difficult to determine whether or not they have collectively gotten on board with the smoothing. but all photopornographic evidence indicates that the populations of india, japan and china haven't heard the good news yet but when they do that shit will be crazy, like how the third world finally got cassettes of "Thriller" in like 1998
