Question:

Answers:
Shaving doesn't cause lice, and neither does not shaving. If a person DOES have lice though, shaving, along with medication can get rid of them.

Lice can live in almost any form of human hair, but pubic lice is found most commonly in pubic hair. Its legs are adapted to climbing along relatively widely spaced hairs, and so it can be found in eyebrows, pubic hair, beards, moustaches, underarm hair and even on eyelashes. Individual lice can survive for about 24 hours apart from its necessary human host, so that crab lice can be passed on in sleeping bags and bedding.
sure can. You can get them from siting on the ol' porcelan throne if it hasnt been sanitized correctly. Shaving just makes it easier to get rid of 'em if you get them.
Yes
pubic lice-crabs can still lay their eggs in stubble and can also live in other parts of the body-therefore shaving is not effective
yes yes yes! people often commonlt mistake that...they embed themselves into your skin so they will still b there even if u shave

You can, but its alot less likely, especially if you wax. Plus its alot easier to see them if you're bald.
