Pubic lice can be passed between people during sexual or physical contact and may be attached to most human bodily hair, yet not typically on your scalp. You may get them from sharing towels, beds etc.
Despite old warnings of extinction, they are around 
Scabies are around too and some places have reported a shortage of treatment |

They do seem like kind of a retro STD don’t they? I’ve never had them nor do I know anyone who has, although that’s not to say they aren’t still around. Caution always I guess.
If I’ve misunderstood the question - partial to a fried soft-shell. Lots of chilli. Mmmm. |

I still shudder
Caught them in in my youth, didn't know what was causing the unbearable itch until I scratched a piece of "skin" off and noticed it had legs!
Too embarrassed to go to the doctors and in the end eliminated them with fly spray, probaby not recommended  |

"Common misconception  "
Except it's not, because sexual health clinics and charities, and academics have all attributed the drastic decline in cases to exactly that: it becoming more popular and expected of people to trim, wax or shave completely downstairs.
Just Google it and you'll see a ton of research papers on JSTOR and SAGE attributing the decline in cases to end increased popularity of pubic grooming. |

The image of you spraying a whole can of fly spray on your nether regions tickled me  |

"Poor hygiene and sexually transmitted
You can shave all to your hearts content but they dig into your skin and end up living there until feeding time
Living in eyebrows "
That's a different breed and not as big plus they come out while you are sleeping  |

"I imagine they're banned now but you could buy a packet of them, to share with a friend, perhaps adding them to their bed, so that they don't have to sleep alone "
I'm sure the pet store would have a variety of bugs to feed |

Many of them could be preferable to crabs, maybe? |

Treatment for crabs based on insecticides like permethrin
Scabies
Permethrin or similar or benzyl benzoate
Excuse spelling
Fortunately crabs have shown little insecticide resistance unlike head lice
