The female louse glues her eggs, sometimes called "nits", which look like tiny white beads, to hair shafts very close to the scalp. Eggs are very small, about the size of a period (full stop) in normal printing. Eggs may appear yellowish, brownish or greyish, but almost always lighter colored.

Dead eggs will appear dark, or raisin-like, as they dry out. "Nits" of this sort are usually found one-half inch or more away from the scalp and are not considered a sign of an active infestation. In common usage, an egg that is still incubating may also be called a "nit".

Whether a louse is male or female is not apparent until they are nearly mature. Fertilization of eggs takes place once the female reaches the mature stage. The female can then lay 3-7 eggs each day for the next 28 to 30 days, her normal life span.

There are three main stages in the life of a head louse: the nit, the nymph, and the adult.

Nit: [1]Nits are head lice eggs. They are hard to see and are found firmly attached to the

hair shaft. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Nits take about 1 week to hatch.
Nymph: The nit hatches into a baby louse called a nymph. It looks like an adult head louse, but is smaller. Nymphs mature into adults about 7 days after hatching. To live, the nymph must feed on blood. It metamorphoses 3 times before it reaches the adult stage.
Adult. Females lay nits (a few hundreds of eggs); they are usually larger than males. To live, adult lice need to feed on blood. If the louse falls off a person, it dies within 1-2 days.

Most often, by hair-to-hair contact with another person who has lice.

Head lice spread quickly when the hair they have inhabited comes into contact with another persons hair. This is why young children suffer the most with head lice as they tend to have closer physical contact with their friends and family.

Once head lice enter the family home the whole family is at risk of becoming infested.

Do dogs and cats serve to maintain or transfer head lice? No

During the life cycle of head lice, larvae and adult lice deposit their faeces in the scalp, which eventually causes itching as the person develops an allergic reaction to the lice stool. Saliva injected during feeding also provides an irritation to the scalp. The hallmark symptom of head lice is itching, but a person may have lice for months before the itching begins.

Also, if a person does not have an allergic reaction to lice stool or its saliva they will NOT develop an itch!

Many head lice infestations cause no symptoms, less that half experience an itch!

Professor Rick Speares writes - If all children or adults at risk put conditioner on their hair once a week and combed it out with a fine tooth comb, head lice would become a minor problem

As the name implies, head lice are specialised to live among the hair present on the human head and are exquisitely adapted to living mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of their human host.

The adult head louse resembles a miniature ant that appears flat when viewed from the side through a strong magnifying glass. Head lice have a head, thorax and abdomen with six legs, but their two front legs are very large in order to grab onto the hair shafts. Head lice are tan to greyish-white in color.

Head lice are trapeze artists!

They CANNOT walk, jump or fly

They swing from hair to hair

Eggs normally undergo a 7-9 day incubation before hatching as a baby nymph.Basically, a louse egg does not become a "nit" until after it has completed its incubation stage, thus leaving a "nit". A "nit" is either the empty shell remaining after the nymph has departed or the dead egg that remains if incubation was not successful.
