Can you get nits on body hair?

Nits are the eggs of head lice and are typically found in the hair on the scalp. While body hair can host lice, such as body lice, these insects do not produce nits in the same way that head lice do. Body lice lay their eggs in clothing or bedding rather than directly on body hair. Therefore, you won't find nits on body hair like you would on scalp hair.
