What are the stages of head lice?
Head lice glue their eggs (nits) onto the base of a hair. About 5 to 10 days later the nit hatches into a nymph which feeds on the human scalp almost immediately, and for a couple of weeks before reaching the adult stage (louse). An adult louse feeds on the human several times per day, and can live for more than a month on the head, laying up to 4 nits per day. An adult louse can not live very long off the human head (usually only a couple of days at most).
How long can nits live off your hair?
nits removed from the hair/head cannot hatch; they need the warmth of the human head to hatch and once hatched need to immediately feed. ****************************** not true. they may need the warmth of the human head, but depending on at what point of "incubation" they can still hatch. i am speaking from experience - i have watched it happen on a anti-bacterial wipe that i placed them on while picking them out of my daughter's hair. ---------------------------------------------------------- they can only live up to 6 days if they dont suck our blood they die if u need to take them out use full marks it takes out all eggs and nits. hope this helps.

Should you wash all your towels and blankets to get rid of head lice?
it would be a good idea but you don't have to, the lice/nits live in the roots of your hair so they wouldn't be on your towels,, only if you put them there, and in fact if they were on your towels thy would die after 2 days as they need human blood to live!! i hope i answered your question
How far away do you have to be if someone in your class has nits?
If someone in your class has nits, you do not have to stay far away from them. The fact is, even if you are sat right beside someone who has nits, you might not get them off that person. Nits don't jump, so unless your heads are right next to each other, as they would be if you were whispering something to them, it is unlikely that they will pass nits on to you.
