PS I don't have crabs. But a couple years ago I did and after pretty much scratching my skin off, it went away.

No, they need to be treated. Over-the-counter lotions that contain the chemical permethrin such as Rid and Nix will get rid of the lice. (Talk to your doctor before using any product that contains the chemical lindane, which can be toxic, especially for unborn children.) After washing with the lotion, use a fine-toothed comb to comb out the crabs and their eggs (called nits). Your sexual partner(s) must be treated as well, and all clothing or bedding that may be infested must be washed in very hot water or dry-cleaned. In some cases, clothing, towels, or bedding may need to be washed a few times before they're completely lice-free.

No, they are a living organism that has now found a place to live. As long as the environment is friendly, they will stay and reproduce. So, you will need a treatment to get rid of them.
