Though in all seriousness: I've never heard of anyone getting bitten by insects in the...nether regions.
Ever. Until I met Graknorke.

Even before then, though... really? I mean. Mites. Infestations. Lice. I had met people who had gone through the unfortunate experience of crotchlice before I had even graduated elementary school. I'd expect it to be worse, where you are... maybe it's just not talked about, there?

If it happens, it's not talked about here either.

I don't think it is.

We mostly go "I got bitten by [insert accused here]." or "I think you have lice." Stuff like that.

Without saying where. SO to be relevant to this thread...that reference mentioned above was quite a shock.
Mhmm.

My WTF is looking into it and finding out that insect infestations of pubic hair are apparently not tracked by the world health folks. Estimates of crab louse alone are at around 2% worldwide, but most governments apparently just... don't record the numbers on bugs residin' on yer nethers. That sounds like a plague vector waiting to happen...

Would you want to keep track of how many people have pubic insect infestations?

Yes. But I'm pretty sure I have a number fetish.

[Frumple]

Yes. I mean, hell, it wouldn't be pleasant, but that is the exact bloody sort of information a public health organization tracks. Especially considering it's a potentially infectious disease vector. You want people tracked, you want spread identified and followed, you want area ranges and prevalence based on geography, demographics, insect species, season... the list goes on. What sort of diseases you can and can't expect from varying species, likelihood of transference -- buncha' stuff.

I don't just want folks to keep track of pubic insect infestations, I would straight up say it's a necessary component of society-wide disease control. It's not just wanted, it's needed. That it's not points to a very likely failure in organization-level methodology.

[TD1]

Yes, but it's personal information no one will divulge. Results won't be accurate, as most people simply won't want to do it. Maybe the government should make an effort at it, but it's not likely to go far.

[Yoink]

So... religious argument? Yeesh.
The only thing I took away from those several pages was that fruit is the only reason I'm not immortal.
I KNEW IT WASN'T GOOD FOR ME! IT WAS LIES, ALL LIEEEES

Edit: I once got bitten on the thingy by a tick. You know, those things which latch onto you and drink your blood whilst pumping poison into you?
That really sucked. Heh. Woke up in a sudden heap of pain with no idea what was going on at first.

Actually, fruit is the only reason you exist. Without that sin, Adam and Eve would not have been cast out and told to multiply.

[Yoink]

I coulda been born as a bird instead! Or a crocodile!

Let's not go there. Many, many B12ers don't believe that, and you're just fanning flames.

[Descan]

I don't even have to bold the crazy, it does it for me!

It's not often I come across something that is kind enough to name-drop things known to be bullshit, like Kirlian photos. It's nice when it's cut and dry like that.

Of course, s'not like it -needs- that to be described as "Wat,"but it helps!

FIFY.
We just had one of those discussions. We seemed to agreed that taking the bible literally was silly.

[TD1]

I don't take the Bible literally. He said without fruit he would be immortal. I said that actually, you wouldn't exist. It wasn't a lead on to further discussion, just a small correction.
