Bloomberg - Crab Lice Endangered

Brazilian Bikini Waxes Make Crab Lice Endangered Species - Bloomberg: Waning infestations of the bloodsuckers have been linked by doctors to pubic depilation, especially a technique popularized in the 1990s by a Manhattan salon run by seven Brazilian sisters. More than 80 percent of college students in the U.S. remove all or some of their pubic hair -- part of a trend that’s increasing in western countries.
