		<description>To Dr.Bugger:
Anyone who spells "chihuahua" as chiwowow must be a moron. Any one who takes advise from someone claiming to be a doctor who writes like this is even dumber.</description>

		<description>On second thought, upon actually reading the FAQ portion of their sites, I would very much like to make a few statements.




&lt;blockquote&gt;"Q. What are they called? 

My homeys and I call them the Love Bugz, but I've also heard them called crabs, bed bugs, chinches, Nice Lice, and Love lice. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Bed bugs are most certainly NOT LICE. "Bed bugs are small, oval, wingless insects that reach about 1/4 inch in length. They belong to the insect family Cimicidae, which includes three species that bite people. Bed bugs have flat bodies and are reddish-brown in color. They may sometimes be mistaken for ticks or small cockroaches. Bed bugs feed by sucking blood from humans or animals. They do not develop wings and cannot fly." (http://www.medicinenet.com/bed_bugs/article.htm)

Geeze, can you imagine trying to live with something that large in your hair? I think it would be rather uncomfortably noticable.


&lt;blockquote&gt;
"Q. You're a FREAK!

Look Sweety, humans have had body lice since from millions of years ago when we lived in caves until just recently. 
So, who's the freak? You or me? 
Who's not living in a 'natural' human condition? "&lt;/blockquote&gt;



So by this idea, you're going to give up medicine, modern conveniences, hygiene and many other things in the name of being "more natural"? We lived with lice for years because we didn't know any better, not because we liked the 'natural' style. Pick up a psychology text, humans by nature are patterned, clean creatures with a few deviants. Also, have we not learned over the years that we have been wrong. Or do you still think maggots appear out of thin air? 


My apologies. I tried to cut this down. &#62;.&#60; I'm ranting now.</description>

		<description>Phthirus pubis mouthparts are designed to pierce the skin to suck blood, they are similair to a mosquitoes and could not possibly be used to feed on dead skin cells. Selective breeding could not be used to produce a total modification of the mouth parts no more than you could selectively breed a dog to have syringe like mouthparts.</description>
