If memory serves me, it has to do with how crabs and lice breed. The females "hold" on to two adjacent hairs while the male does his thing. Crabs gravitate to the pubic region because the hair is a particular length apart there. For similar reasons, head lice gravitate to the head because of the distance apart for head hair.

cos you don't tend to rub your pupic regions on another persons head. Headlice are the alternative for your head hair

Because these are pubic lice and are best suited and specialised to living in this area. On the head you get head lice and on the body you get body lice. They are all similar and related to each other, but each, given the opportunity will live in the niche it has become best suited to.

You have had all the serious answers. So...
Because the cockle-pickers in Morecombe Bay have taken all the rest?
