Crabs can spread to any part of your body that has hair on it. For some reason though, they tend not to infest the hair on your head.
So to answer your question- yes, crabs can cause you to itch all over your body.
Can you get crabs all over your body?
Crabs are tiny little parasites that are most commonly found in the pubic hair of infected people. For this reason, they are also known as public lice or pubic nits.
They are also commonly found on eyebrows, eyelashes and facial hair - which means they certainly can make you itch in places other than your crotch.
Crabs prefer nesting in coarse hair - which is why they rarely make their way up to people's heads.
Crabs host solely on humans, and feed off their blood. The itching sensation caused by a crab bite is due to our body's reaction to the insect's saliva.
An itching sensation can worsen a few days after infestation begins, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as you notice a crab wondering about on your body.
