    How can people with crabs prevent transmission?

     

    • All sexual partners should be treated, regardless of whether or not they are symptomatic;
    • Avoid sharing underwear, clothing and towels;
    • Given that these parasites can be transmitted by casual close contact, all close friends and family members should be advised and treated at the same time (this includes all attendees of daycare centers, schools or nursing homes – when a case is identified);
    • All clothing that has been worn, including bedding must be washed in hot water (55 degrees Celsius) for at least 20 minutes. Dry-cleaning, the application of an appropriate insecticide or the placement of articles into an airtight plastic bag for 24 hours is also deemed effective;
    • While the condom does not prevent transmission of crabs or scabies (pubic hairs are not covered), they are effective at preventing other sexually transmitted infections.
