Head Lice, Nits (eggs) and Nymphs (baby louse):
Nits:
A nit is the egg stage in the
life cycle of the parasite that causes head
lice.
The nit is attached to the hair
shaft by a strong cement like glue. Nits (lice eggs) is attached to one
side of a hair shaft at an angle. They are located close to the
scalp because they require body heat for
incubation.
They
must be manually removed.
Hair dyed nits (lice eggs)- Hair
dye only tint the nits
Nymphs (baby lice):
When an egg hatches, it releases a nymph. The nit shell
stays attached to the hair. The nymph looks like an adult louse but its
much smaller. As the nymph grows, it molts out of its exoskeleton 3 times
before it becomes an adult.

Head Lice
(Louse):
Head lice are tiny six legged, blood
sucking parasites. Each leg is equipped with a claw, enabling the louse to grasp
onto the shaft of the hair.
A female louse lays eggs (nits) twice a day up to 5 nits
at a time and lives approximately 30 days. A
Head louse needs the warmth of the human body to live.

".....dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout
all the land of Egypt."
Ex 8:16 KJV

cause intense itching and irritation on the scalp, but these symptoms may not
appear until about a month after the lice move in. A rash at the nape of the
neck may also develop.

treatment at home

days.
