How far can nits jump?

Answer 1

sorry but they cant jump i tried something once i brushed my hair till some of the lice started falling i putted them in a pc. of paper they did nothing it looks like they were having difficulty at walking

Answer 2

Nits, which are the eggs of head lice, do not have the ability to jump. They are typically attached to the hair shaft close to the scalp using a glue-like substance secreted by the female louse. Nits are spread through direct head-to-head contact rather than jumping or flying.

Answer 3

Nits, aka head lice eggs, don't have legs to jump with, honey. They just sit there glued to the hair shaft like tiny little hitchhikers. So, the only way they're moving is if you physically transport them to a new host. Keep your head up and your hair nit-free, darling.

Answer 4

Nits, as in head lice, can jump quite a distance. People who say that can not need simply catch head lice and try to get rid of them to understand just how well the little things can jump.

Answer 5

they cant jump. they come from head to head contact, and from sharing things that have been on somone elses head.
