Itchy Manhood Issue: Are Crabs Common at College?
by John Dugan OwnerGoing off to college is a major step in
the lives of many men. It’s an exciting time, but one that inevitably raises
questions and concerns for guys who are “out on their own” for the first time.
And with many men becoming more sensually engaged during college years, a lot
of those questions revolve around male
organ health and avoiding embarrassing issues. For example, no guy
wants a seriously itchy manhood – and especially when it is caused by crabs. So
one question that arises is whether crabs are a common “thing” at college? And
if they are, what does a guy need to do to avoid them? Or treat them, if he’s
not successful at avoiding them?
A
college thing?
So is
crabs a college thing? Is a guy more likely to pick up crabs than before or
after attending college? The answer is yes – but not necessarily as much of a
thing as a person might think.
To
understand why, it’s important to understand a little about crabs and the itchy
manhood situation they cause.
Crabs
Crabs
are lice that resemble tiny little crabs in shape. But these crabs are so small
that they’re very hard to see – although they do make their presence
known!
Crabs
are parasites that like to hang out on the male organ, sacks and general
midsection area. They are most often found near midsection hair and their diet
is a person’s blood. Crabs are found in three stages:
- Nits, which are the eggs of the
lice and are generally attached to a hair shaft. They are oval in shape,
usually yellow or white, and very hard to see.
- Nymphs are the newborn lice.
This stage lasts about 2-3 weeks after hatching.
- Lice are the adult version of
the pest. But people usually use the phrase “crabs” to refer to the lice at any
stage in their development.
How
they spread
Crabs
are most often spread through skin-on-skin contact, usually through sensual
contact. So a man who has sensual activity with a partner with crabs runs a
very high risk of contracting them (and passing them on to new partners).
Because many people find a significant rise in their sensual activities when
they go to college, there is a greater proportional risk of getting crabs.
In
some cases, a person can get crabs through non-sensual means, such as by
sharing clothing, towels, or bed linens of a person who is infected. Again,
because roommates often share such items – and because, let’s face it, guys at
college typically don’t do the best job of washing and cleaning these items! –
this also increases the risk of getting crabs at college.
Prevention
and treatment
The
best way to prevent the itchy manhood that comes with crabs is to avoid sensual
contact with an infected person and not share their items. Wearing a latex
protection can also offer some defense; however, since these lice often live in
the midsection, this is no guarantee of safety. It also helps to regularly wash
and clean clothing, bedclothes, towels and the like.
Treatment
typically involves using medication (in shampoo or gel form) specifically
designed for crabs; many over-the-counter versions work well. Thoroughly
washing clothing and other possibly infested items is also required. These
medications generally do a good job of killing crabs. A doctor may need to
prescribe a prescription version for tougher cases.
College
students who get an itchy manhood due to crabs can help alleviate the itching
by using a high level male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and
safe for skin). A crème with both a high-end emollient (such as Shea
butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) can soothe the itching. One
that contains a potent antioxidant (like alpha lipoic acid) helps strengthen
male organ skin which also diminishes itching.
