Head Lice

To effectively use a comb for lice, start by applying a conditioner to make the hair slippery. Then, section the hair and comb through it with a fine-toothed lice comb, starting at the scalp and working your way down to the ends. Wipe the comb on a paper towel after each stroke to remove any lice or eggs. Repeat this process daily until no lice or eggs are found.

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.

Oh, dude, little lice are called nymphs. They're basically the junior varsity version of adult lice, like the little siblings who always want to hang out with the cool older kids but end up just being annoying. So yeah, nymphs are the tiny, immature lice that eventually grow up to be the full-grown pests we all know and love.

Head lice have been documented throughout history, including in ancient Egypt. The first known mention of head lice dates back to around 1550 BC in a medical text called the Ebers Papyrus. This suggests that head lice have been a human parasite for thousands of years.

Head lice have been around for thousands of years, and there is no specific individual credited with their discovery. They have been a common problem throughout human history and are well-documented in ancient texts and archaeological findings.

Head lice require a certain level of heat and humidity to survive and for their eggs (nits) to properly incubate.

Because it takes 7-10 days for the eggs to hatch, finding nits more than 1/4 inch from the scalp usually are not viable. However, some can incubate longer, especially in more humid climates that replicate the ideal environment.

No, human lice do not communicate with each other in a manner that involves language or complex social interactions. They are simply parasitic insects that feed on human blood and reproduce.

Probably not, lice are very specialized and only inhabit one species of host.

Most kinds of lice are found only on specific types of animal, and, in some cases, only to a particular part of the body; some animals are known to host up to fifteen different species, although one to three is typical for mammals, and two to six for birds.

It is unlikely for lice to move from your head to your crotch because they thrive in the hair on your head and do not typically venture to other parts of the body. However, it is not impossible for lice to spread to other areas through close contact or sharing personal items. If you suspect lice infestation in your genital area, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for proper treatment.

The prognosis for lice infestations is generally good with appropriate treatment. Over-the-counter and prescription medications are effective in treating lice, and with proper management, the infestation can be cleared within a couple of weeks. Recurrence is possible if close contacts are not treated simultaneously.

"Louse" is the singular form; the plural is "lice".
