It's been a long time since I have heard anybody getting these biting little buggers.
Is it because 99% of wl are basically totally shaved no the chances of transmission is none .
Or is it that they are no longer in the community.
Who has a story to tell.

But there are still no information coming about these little biters. Have they been wiped out .
In the eighties the seventies and before there was many reports. Even when I was in school there were people joking about so and so has crabs. But now in the past 20 years or so nothing about it. Have they been wiped out.

Pubic lice are still around, but three reasons have been suggested for why we don't hear much about them anymore.
(1) They don't have serious health risks and are easily cured.
(2) These days people can check the internet for how to treat them and cure themselves pretty quickly.
(3) As you say, a lot of women (and some men) are totally removing their pubic hair which reduces community transmission.

Wait so if you have no hair they cant live on you?

Not quite. They can't reproduce on you: they lays their eggs on pubic hair only.
But if you come into contact with pubic lice they can crawl across your skin and latch onto other body hair—they just won't be able to lay any eggs and multiply.
(So if you already have an infestation, removing your pubic hair afterwards won't clear them up straight away. But medical lotions will.)
