What's the difference between Head Lice and Nits?
Head lice and nits refer to different stages of the same insect, specifically the head louse, which is a common issue among children. The terms are used in the same way, regardless of whether the infestation is in children or adults. Here's a brief explanation:
Head Lice: These are the adult insects. They are very small, about the size of a sesame seed, and usually greyish-white or tan. Head lice move by crawling (they cannot jump or fly) and feed on human blood several times a day. They lay their eggs (nits) close to the scalp. Children can easily get them when playing close together, sharing personal items like combs or hats, or in any situation where there's head-to-head contact.
Nits: Nits are the eggs laid by the head lice. They are tiny, about the size of a knot in thread, and hard to see. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Nits are glued onto the hair shaft close to the scalp by the female louse and can be difficult to remove. They hatch into a baby louse (called a nymph), which grows into an adult louse in about 10 days.
In terms of treating an infestation, it's important to get rid of both the lice and nits. Over-the-counter or prescription treatments are often used, but physical removal (i.e., combing with a fine-toothed nit comb) is also a crucial part of the process.
