Head lice vs Nits

Head lice are tiny, wingless parasitic insects that infest the human scalp, feeding exclusively on blood. They move using three pairs of claw-like legs designed for a firm grip on hair strands. Their elongated, dorsoventrally flattened bodies allow them to navigate through hair easily, while their specialized mouthparts enable them to pierce the skin and suck blood.

Lice eggs, known as nits, are small, white or pearl-colored, and firmly attached to hair shafts by a cement-like substance secreted by the female. Nits can survive without a host for up to two weeks, making complete removal essential for effective lice treatment.

Eliminating both lice and nits requires thorough combing with a fine-tooth comb and targeted treatment to prevent re-infestation.
