(2,560 posts)Yes, in certain environments, ticks and other parasites are more likely than in other environments. But you're more likely to get them on your head and upper body than on your pubes. I had to check my dog on a frequent basis for ticks in Darwin and the only ones I found were on head and neck.
I agree that women's plumbing is rather more intricate than that of us guys. But a relative humidity of essentially 100% is the same whether you're in a jungle or not. I don't see that shaving your pubes is going to help. Of course, it could be that the jungle adventure involved wading across rivers, although even then I don't see how a lack or presence of pubes would help. I can't cite any Darwin data on this as you only get to wade in a river once (we have big fellas swimming up and down).
