what are lice eggs?
we’ve all heard of lice, but do you know what nits are? how do lice eggs look, and how can you remove them from hair? does lice treatment kill eggs effectively?
nits look like tiny yellow or brown dots before they hatch. a louse can lay up to 10 eggs on the hair daily, close to the scalp. if you don’t act quickly, lice will spread, increasing the risk of infecting other children and adults. parents often mistake nits for dandruff, but there’s a key difference: dandruff comes off easily, while nits are attached tightly to the hair and are hard to remove.
after lice eggs are laid, it takes 1 to 2 weeks for them to hatch. once they hatch, the remaining shells are white and attached to the hair, often mistaken for dead eggs. while white eggs are easy to spot, darker nits are harder to find and are waiting to hatch into lice. if you see any nits, even white ones, it means lice are still laying eggs, and treatment is necessary.
nits are most visible behind the ears and at the back of the scalp. so when your child says, “my head itches,” that’s the first place to check.
which lice treatment kills the eggs?
home remedies or supermarket lice shampoos are not effective at killing lice eggs. since nits are tightly adhered to the scalp, only a specialized anti-nit comb can successfully remove them. even if lice shampoo kills the adult lice, it won’t eliminate the eggs, which will hatch and cause another infestation in a few weeks.
