Well I went and got myself a case of crabs. Can I kill them with head lcie stuff like RID, or should I just use themagic cream and get rid of my pubes?

this can't be for real, right? Is it a put-down for magic cream users? I posted this morning with a question about the cream, so maybe it's directed at me?? Whatever, but I'm not finding it very funny...

I wouldn't use RID there because it burnt my scalp when I used it on my head (used to work in daycare) so I would presume that the pubic area would be more sensitive, ouch. Call your doctor.

No I'm being serious, my sister told me u can't get rid of crabs by getting rid of your pubes.

what i've always heard you do about crabs is this:

you shave one side (or magic, if you prefer), then light the other side on fire. hit them with a fly swatter as they run across.

good luck!

Ok, OP: please tell us if you are really being serious.

If you are, I wouldn't advise RID. Try shaving??? I'm sure some internet research could come up with at-home cures.

If not, thanks for a laugh (and get ready for lots more comments)!

I find a thick coat of vaseline and mayo kills them and coats the shaft. In the future, put mousse or hairspray on your pubes. It repells those little buggers. If you can get it started by a hair professional, dreds help too.

Soaking your pubes for 15 minutes in paint thinner...guaranteed to kill those pesky crabs! Best to follow up with the fly swatter just to make sure.

Next time don't sit on the toilet seat!

Well, if magic cream doesn't work, I'd follow up with the free samples of biore pore strips.

Why wear panties? I think you need to let the area breathe...

Check your eyelashes and brows...I've heard they like those areas too.

Holy Cow! 15 feet! That means if Steph uses the stall next to me in a public restroom they could jump right over the wall and land on me!

Oh Steph, lighten up. :) We aren't making fun of you, just the crabs. I once heard to get rid of them, you take them to the movies and feed them really salty popcorn. When they get up to get something to drink, you move your seat. :)

I already washed and dried my bed sheets for a real long time, so I know thats good, but do they linger in the mattress? I sealed up all my underwearin Ziplocc bags just to be safe. But I would like to keep my pubic hair if possible. That is why I asked about RID>

Magic creame or shaving will NOT take care of the problem. Those suckers are not like lice, they burrow under your skin to lay their eggs. The only thing you can do is Rid or Nix over the counter. I, however would have an rx called in my your Dr. Or go to an urgent care, they WILL take your word for it and just give you the rx. It can get serious pretty fast, they do burrow under the skin quickly.

And, while I thought some of your answers were funny (and did make me giggle blush), if this person is serious it's really kind of mean. Also, even if she isn't serious it may help someone else to know the proper information.

Don't use RID unless you talk to your Dr. about it, please. You need to call your Dr. While you may be embarassed, it is better to be healthy.

Tie a chicken bone to your ankle and when the crabs go for the chicken grab 'em with a net.

RID will get rid of crabs, but it will also shrivel up your boobs even more, so I'd try and find a solution that'll fix both your problems. The butter will scare off the crabs and fatten up your cleavage at the same time, so my vote is for that.

  • AdventuresW/Gretchen
once again, i find myself ITA with lemony . . .

and you might want to get the crabs problem fixed BEFORE worrying about the boobs. but you could go on the $1mil thread and see if anyone would remove your crabs for you for a million dollars--see if you can find someone who is (literally) nit-picking enough for you tonight




and Alton Brown on Good Eats (Food Network) recommends 'fixing' crabs this way:

take 1 cluster of crab legs/body segment
lay on damp paper towel
top with fresh herbs--cilantro, dill, parsley all work well (not in combination!)
squeeze lemon/lime juice on top


wrap in the towel, wrap in Saran wrap and microwave 2 minutes
(just to heat up--it is already fully cooked)

serve with clarified butter
garnish with the little comb that comes in the RID box






am i the only one who remembers the SNL skit on this topic? with Adam Sandler?
"i find that i only want to be with people who have crabs anymore. they're just so much more . . . comfortable to be with." and he begins to comb his hair with the little lice comb.

and at the end:
"you don't even have crabs! you're just here because you think the women will all be easy!"
"yeah! i have crabs! of course i have crabs! you think i'd make this up?"
"yeah? well, what do they look like (if you know so much about them)???"
"they're . . . blue. and one arm is bigger than the others."

I say keep 'em, name 'em, and make them life long pets. If they get too bothersome, you can always make crab salad or crab cakes! You could always take a super hot bath and toss in some old bay as a pp stated.

(am I the only one who will never be able to eat/look at crab the same lol?)

Educate me please....

Julie

PS oh my dad got them once and convenced my mom he got them from dealing with a prisoner (he was a cop). That they got on his arms first bc his arms were hairy... mom believed him... (he later walked out after 26yrs of marriageand cheating)
