How to prevent pubic lice?

I come to Thailand regularly over the past 10 years but have the unpleasant experience of catching pubic lice twice.

Any recommendation of medicine to get rid of it and better still, how to prevent it?

Well lucky you!

The only way to prevent catching crabs is either:
a) thoroughly inspect your partner's pubes before sex or
b) don't have sex with anyone!
The first option sounds more fun to me! :cheers:

Seriously though, crabs are like bedbugs and fleas: even the classiest places could have them.

There are over-the-counter shampoos for head lice that will work (usually by mixing a low dose pesticide in with the shampoo). Remember though, you also have to wash all your clothes, underwear AND bedding in HOT water.

The shampoos are so expensive for what they are ie. a rather weak insecticide. I always ignore the warnings on the cans about avoiding contact with skin, and use whatever fly spray I can find handy that the maid has hidden in the kitchen. Never fails

Jacutin Gel is a Cure, not a Prevention. It is available at most pharmacies in Thailand. Can't remember the price but less than 200 Baht, I think. Gives a slightly warm feeling to sensitive skin areas (scrotum, anus, armpits etc) but that passes in a few minutes. A mild smell of medical alcohol but not unpleasant. Rub it on then wash it off about 12 hours later.

Correct padlom,

But he could use it frequently anyway as a prevention.

Lindane (the ingredient in JACUTIN GEL) is banned in many countries. A proven carcinogenic. More of a scabies cure than a lice cure anyway.
The Thai drug stores carry a mild shampoo for head lice, but this is not meant for pubic lice.

One thing you can try to prevent. Get some tea tree oil preparation. Apply to hairy areas after a shag with a dirty boy. At that point, you are dealing with just one or a few live critters not eggs, and that oil might kill the intruder.

If you are coming from a western country, bring in a mild pubic lice cure because you won't find it here. No wonder the Thai cancer rate is so high.

Using meds as a prevention is not wise as it might create a strain of crab immune to the meds . Remember the Americans used regular doses of antibiotics as a prevention against syphilis in the Vietnam war. It created a strain of Syphilis called Vietnam Rose which antibiotics couldn't cure any more. Incidentally that strain of syphilis is still around in Thailand.

True. But shampoo is not always enough. Better is to cut of shave as much of body hair off as possible. Just tell the pharmacists about your problem a he will advise you which treatment are bests.

If you need a quick solution, a linden-based cr├иme or so, Jacutin gel is the best and only option.

Agent Orange is based on Lindan. …. If you like to know what happened to people who came in contact with this stuff, have a look in Laos, Viet Nam or Cambodia ...

Lice can jump over from everywhere, not just from 1:1 body contact. Can happened from unclean bed linen or transferred from a third person by so too.

Raksiam,

What do you mean please??

Permerthrin (Nix) is very good and safe.

Read this link for further warnings about Lindane. It is a very dangerous med. Its like shooting a fly with a bazooka. Its crazy that this is what you find as the only treatment at Thai drugstores. You will find a safe shampoo cure for head lice in Thai stores, but not pubic lice.

In some ways, Thailand REALLY is backwards!
