Default Re: crab lice

When I was in the Army, we had a guy get them in town in the usual way and then sought treatment at the Battalion Aid Station. The PA sent letters home with all the married guys verifying that yes- because we slept in the same beds (not at the same time) and used the same toilets, it was a remote possiblity that we may actually be able to get them. That was nice of the PA to do that. Luckily, although the guy had them, nobody else got them.

Still- I infer from the letter sent home with us that it is possible, and the Army didn't want wives turning into a Lorena Bobbit over something innocent. This was about the same time and Ms. Lorena did her deed and we were all on edge!
