CHECK YOURSELF. MAYBE PUT SOME WHITE PAPER DOWN UNDERNEATH YOU AND USE A FINE TOOTH COMB AND SEE IF ANYTHING FALLS OUT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO TO THE DOCTOR.

NOOOOOOO don't use Rid. That is for HEAD LICE. It doesn't have the same effect on Crabs/ Pubic Lice. You need to take a dark colored paper, place it under your genitals, and with a comb, go thru the hair. If you see little "bugs" you need to go to the doc or health department to receive meds. Good luck.

Littlebit gave you some good advice. Generally upon close inspection you can see them. However, the Doctor is the best advice. If you have them, there is treatment. if you don't, knowing for sure is the best medicine. (no pun intended)

There is stuff you can buy at the phamcy for that. Its in a green box, right now the name escapes me. If you do have it remember was everything in hot water bedding vacuum the couch realy good clothes comforters. They are easy to catch but bear to get rid of.
