You can get crabs from a toilet seat. But it would have to be very shortly after someone with crabs used it. Also from sleeping in the same bed even without sexual contact. And from sharing underwear(who does that?) They are very contagious like head lice.

It's not very likely that you would get crabs off of a toilet seat. It's not impossible, but unless you pressed your genitals against the toilet, and so did the person who used it just before you AND they had the crabs it wouldn't happen that way. If you did get unlucky enough to use a toilet just after someone with a raging case of them, their crabs would have had to bail out of a nice warm crotch onto a cold, plastic seat to make the transfer possible. If no sex was involved, it's much more likely that you picked them up from wearing someone else's jeans.

Yup. Germs as a general rule don't live long on toilet seats, but in communal restrooms when people are walking in and out after one another, it IS possible. Unlikely, however, but possible.

it probably may be possible, im not sure but i know that if u wear the same underwear as somone with crabs then u will get em, or say like if u nd her or him get ur two parts too close then yesh u will also get it that way. its also possible to get it by not washing underwear or swimsuits in stores, even with the hygenical sticker, u never know..just be careful ; D

The lil buggers run really fast so you might wanna put on some running shoes and also wear some thick gloves in case they catch you instead!
