A Nit (Louse Egg) is a smooth, oval shaped structure which is attached to the side of the hair shaft ranging in color from off-white to brown and is slightly smaller than a sesame seed. Nits are always the same shape; they are never irregular, fuzzy, or encircling the hair (although the glue that the louse produces may be seen to encircle tightly around the hair shaft).

When is a Nit Not a Nit?

If you perceive or are told about ongoing problems with nits without ever seeing a louse, it may be confusion between nits versus common hair debris. This debris is often referred to as DEC plugs and hair casts.

Facts About Head Lice

• Nits (the eggs of the head louse) are small yellowish-white, oval-shaped eggs that are "to the side of a hair shaft glued" at an angle
• Nits must be laid by live lice. You cannot "catch nits"
• A female louse lays 3-5 eggs a day. Once laid, it takes 7-10 days for a nit to hatch, and another 7-10 days for the female to mature and begin laying her own eggs
• Head lice are clear in color when hatched, then quickly develop a reddish-brown color after feeding
• Head lice are about the size of sesame seeds
• Head lice have six legs equipped with claws to grasp the hair
• Head lice are crawling insects. They can't hop, jump, or fly
• Head lice do not thrive on pets
• Head lice are small, wingless insects which feed on human blood. They need human blood in order to survive
• Head lice live for approximately 30 days on a host and a female louse may lay up to 100 nits (eggs)
• Head lice off of their human hosts will starve. The NPA suggests that, in most cases, a head louse will not survive for more than 24 hours off of its human host

Lice Treatment

The only treatment method that works 100% of the time is to manually remove all lice and all nits. Every member of the household should be checked and, if nits or lice are detected, treated to prevent re-infestation of anyone treated. Heat and chemical treatments do not kill all of the lice and nits. Manual removal of all lice and nits is necessary to eliminate the infestation.
