Pubic lice almost wiped out thanks to the popularity of bikini waxing

Add this to the list of ever growing reasons to praise the bikini wax - it may have made pubic lice and endangered species.

Doctors say that as pubic hair disappears, so do the crab-shaped insects that have made homes in human groins since man first appeared.

In Australia, Sydney's main sexual health clinic hasn't treated a woman with pubic lice since 2008 while male cases have fallen 80 per cent from about 100 a decade ago.

Even men are having their pubic hair removed in a treatment called the 'Sunga' that runs $90.

More than 80 percent of college students in the U.S. remove all or some of their pubic hair. And the waxing technique popularized in the 190s by a Manhattan salon run by Brazilian sisters is still trendy.

'Pubic grooming has led to a severe depletion of crab louse populations,' said Ian F. Burgess, a medical entomologist with Insect Research & Development Ltd. in Cambridge, England. 'Add to that other aspects of body hair depilation, and you can see an environmental disaster in the making for this species.'

I suppose the extinction of any species is a bad thing - but really, is anyone going to shed a tear over this one's demise?

Possibly not until we discover that they were important in the eco-system for something else.

I wonder if there will be a resurgence in February following the events of Fanuary?

Do you think all the ones from Australia will head over here too seeking sanctuary?

Could we get match boxes with all the discarded pubic hair and make little beds for them?

Do we help the foreign ones too or just British pubic lice that find themselves homeless?

Inflation!

Plus, I added a bit extra as thought it might be a tad hard to hand feed one

It might be tricky to harness them. If anyone can do it, you can Granny.

Can I adopt one too. I will make it a nice little home in an ice cream tub with all the hair pulled off my brush for a bed. That's my brush for the hair on my head in case any one is wondering!

I would call mine Lucy
