Information - Lice and Nits

Lice and Nits

  • Lice are 1/16-inch long, gray-colored, move quickly, and are difficult to see.
  • INits are white eggs firmly attached to hair shafts near the skin. Unlike dandruff or sand, nits can't be shaken off the hair shafts.
  • The nits are easier to see than the lice because they are white and very numerous.
