Can you get crabs in your eye and eyebrow?

Question

I was sitting here thinking of when I was in high school. I remembered one of my friends saying she went to a restaurant and her server had a very bad eye infection. When asked what was wrong with her eye, the waitress said she had got crabs in her eyebrow and causing her eye to get very infected.

Now, I wouldn't think this person would be allowed to work in a restaurant with such an infection, but I was just wanting to know if it was possible? Mainly, I just wanted to know if my friend was full of crap.

I ment to say this person would "not" be allowed, not would be allowed as typed above.

Answer 2

It sounds like it could be possible. It is possible to get herpes of the eye. I guess it depends where the server had her face. However, I can not see a server telling a stranger that is what caused the infection even if it were true.

Answer 3

Actually I think it is possible, crabs live in hair, so they might live in eyebrows. I have never heard of anybody having them in their eyebrows but maybe it could happen.

Answer 4

it might be possible but i wouldn't be going around telling people that so she might have just been messing with you. she probably got tired of everyone asking her about her eye and then came up with the crab story. at least i hope thats what happend.

Answer 5

you can definatly get it in your eyebrow because if someone has them and you give a little mouth to south then it is a very good possibility you will get some in your eye....grosss
