Nits are the eggs laid by adult head lice and do not contain any lice themselves. Each nit typically contains one developing louse embryo. Once the egg hatches, a young louse, called a nymph, emerges. Therefore, there are zero head lice in a nit, but each nit can eventually produce one louse.

How many bugs are in a nit?

A "nit" typically refers to the egg of a louse, particularly from head lice, rather than a unit of measurement for bugs. Therefore, the number of bugs in a nit would be zero, as a nit is not a bug itself. However, each nit can hatch into one louse, which is considered a bug.
