Website Sells Pubic Lice
A British website called crabrevenge.com will help you prove that there is literally nothing you can't find online by selling you pubic lice. A disclaimer on the site says the creators "do not endorse giving people lice," and the lice are for "novelty purposes only." The company also boasts about a facility "where we do all of our parasite husbandry and carefully considered selective breeding." Three different packages are available: "Green package - One colony that can lay as many as 30 eggs for about $20. Blue package - Three colonies to share with your friends or freeze a batch or two for about $35. Red package - A vial of 'shampoo-resistant F-strain crabs' which can take up to two weeks to kill for about $52."

Plenty of valid reasons there. Yours is a closet pedo argument if ever there was one.
"Everyone i know shaves so I don't see how effective this would be."
Everyone you know? How/Why do you know this...? Of all the people I know, aside from my wife, I know exactly ZERO (0) % about their personal grooming down pubic region. Why in the world would you know this in your circle?

your tired response is tired.
There's a substantial difference between a shaved 30yo woman, and a pre-pubescent girl. Stating the obvious shouldn't normally be necessary, except when dealing with tired old responses like yours. The shape of a woman changes, they develop a pair of things called "breasts," and also something called "hips." Baby fat goes away. Etc, etc. But I guess if you're just focused on pubic hair, and that's what makes/breaks a woman for you, hey.
If a 30yo woman has a gigantic bush but still has the mindset of a 10yo, hopefully that would be more of a turnoff for you than if the same woman shaved, and started acting like a 30yo. There are benefits to grooming. Cutting to merely /short/ is too much work, and is uncomfortable.
Lice are not very good at surviving without food (= blood). Half of them have died within 24 hours. A bedbug would be much better, because they can go for months without food and they are very difficult to get rid off, once you get them in your house.
To be clear, I'm not a criminal lawyer. Crime is far, far away from my specialism. I am also not your lawyer. This is not a researched opinion. Cheers.
This would absolutely (in my opinion) be a criminal offence in the jurisdiction.
Common assault - includes any non-consensual contact or the causing of non-consensual contact through another object. This could easily be analogised to the cases involving leaving a trap or poking with a stick.
Much more serious:
Sexual assault - SOA 2003 s(3) - AFAIK this includes touching through another object, so the offense would be available
Infliction of GBH with intent - GBH requires common assault (see above) and the rupturing of membranes, which lice do when they suck blood (this potentially hold a sentence of lifetime imprisonment, and is an extraordinarily serious offence in the UK)
The Crown Prosecution Service generally charges less than the most serious crime chargeable, but it is quite feasible to imagine an assault or sexual assault charge being made if this were used. Also, the site owners are doubtless on the hook for all sorts of conspiracy and assistance offences, but I know little to nothing about them. Also, this may well come under the remit of Operation Sapphire (the London police operation on rape and sexual offences. I know some of the outstanding officers involved, they're like dogs with a bone once they get a suspect in their sights.) or could be viewed as domestic violence, which elevates sentencing in the courts (and opens up the possibility of elevation to Crown Court sentencing).
All sorts of wonderful civil options even if the CPS didn't prosecute, with trespass against the person and negligence high on the list.
Not that I'm aware of, but you can buy hookworm to treat your asthma or other autoimmune disorders. Costs a few grand, or you can always get it from the source.
