Crabs

[Pompal 09.]

Just wondering, although I've never had them myself, someone told me that catching crabs at an MP through a regular massage from the towels on the table can happen. Although I don't doubt this, I'm wondering how many massageplanet.netites have actually had crabs as a result of a regular massage at an MP.

anythings possible....however so far I've been pretty lucky never to have caught crabs....knock on wood

 

[Yeoman Prince]

I never knew that some mp's served seafood.

LOL

 

[cyanosis]

Never caught em!

If the MPAs change the towels after every session and the table linen, and put them in the washing machine with hot water, there should be no worry about crab transmission. Mind you there are probably a lot of MPs out there that don't change the towels and linen after every customer. I like the fact that at Allure, I've seen them alcohol the massage table, I think this is a good touch and keeps an aseptic environment.

Never caught them. Then again, I only frequent a few spas which maintain a high level of cleanliness so I guess that plays a role in it too.

[queenz11]

I agree totally.

 

[Guardian angel]

Had the odd crabby MPA, and I've walked out of a few places where I've suspected uncleanliness.

 

[Madison]

Never got crabs. Lobsters yes, but not crabs.

 

[Allnighta]

Got crabs once. Should have known better, but decided to take a chance. Very big mistake!!

Yep, i had crabs.

No idea if they came from a massage parlour or somewhere's else. But at the time (last summer) i had been visiting massage parlours.

Let's just say it wasn't fun getting rid of the little bastards. I remember the first time, i was outside scratching and pull out what i thought was a skin flake. Didn't take much notice of it. Then a while later, i repeated the above and thought, hmm, that's odd. I looked at "the flake" and thought, fuck, that just moved!! I watched and watched and it didn't move again so i thought it must have been my imagination. A while later another flake and it moved too. (They remind me of skin flakes like from the top of a pimple that you scratch off, only they move)

OH FUCK i thought, i have fucking crabs. Thing is, they weren't nesting around my dick, they were nesting just under my navel and above my belt and even onto my ass. I must have pulled about 30 or 40 out. It was fucking awful. You can actually see them burrowing under your skin, or whatever. They look like black heads.

I went on the net, and there is a ton of usefull information there. There is one product that they all say to avoid cause it causes cancer - Lindane. Fucking great eh. I ended up calling Shoppers Drug mart and buying Kwelada lotion over the counter. It's about 50 bucks for a little bottle bottle and it takes 2 bottles to do yourself from neck to toes.

Try putting this stuff on your back alone. It's not easy.

Now, you think buying condoms when you were a teenager was embarassing, try buying flea powder (ok, cream) when you are an adult. I just paid for it and got the hell out of there.

I had to wash every sheet and article of clothing i had worn in the last 2 weeks and put them in the drier at high heat. I scrubbed everything.

But i screwed up. The bottle clearly said to give yourself another treatment in 7 to 10 days if you notice any little buggers back again. Well i didn't notice any, so i didn't bother dropping another hundred bucks. Well you can probably guess where this is going, about 4 weeks later i pulled a few more out of my lower stomach like before.

This time i went to the doctor and she confirmed my own diagnosis. It was very very embarassing cause she was sheepish to even come close to me. Fuck, like i am not suffering enough. She recommended that i give myself another treatment with Kwelada lotion, only this time, don't skip the repeat treatment 7 days later. She did try to calm my embarassment by telling me about "all the famous people" she sees with crabs, STD's etc.

Back to shoppers drug mart and bought FOUR bottles of this stuff. 2 for the initial treatment and 2 for the follow up. Again, wash eveything, threw out underwear, threw out shoes, hell, i even threw out my wallet.

It worked. I am bug free now.

 

[In search of Confidence]

it's good that you got rid of them. thanks for sharing the info. don't crabs nest in hairy areas? are you hairy around your naval Cliff?
for once i'm glad that i don't have a lot of body hair, except around the pubic area.

 

[Justice]

Pubic lice live primarily in hairy areas in the genital regions and sometimes in eyebrows. They lay eggs call nits at the base of hairs where it's warm. If you see bugs the size of sesame seeds, experience itchiness, and have a blue-gray discoloration then you have pubic lice. If you also have itchiness in the eyes and eyebrows, I would seek help right away.

 

[StephMoxley]

only had lice once when i was 17 and still living at home. girlfriend was a whore. too embarrased and too broke for professional treatment so i shaved all my body hair and washed everything twice and luckily never came back.(many years ago now)
