Who was the first person to get nits?

It is difficult to determine the exact first person to get nits, as head lice have been a common issue in human history. Nits have likely been affecting humans for thousands of years, with evidence of infestations found in ancient civilizations.


Where do nits come from and can you catch them from animals or hairs of animals?

Nits are the eggs of head lice and are typically found attached to human hair close to the scalp. They cannot be caught from animals or animal hair, as head lice are specific to humans and do not infest pets or other animals.


Do nits bite?

I had lice when I was like 8 and I know quite a lot about them. I kinda found it interesting that bugs were living on my head. Anyway, yes they do bite they eat your scalp. that causes sores that itch. That why your head itches when you have lice.Another answer:Actually nits don't bite, lice do. Nits are the eggs, and some authors limit the definition to dead lice eggs. So the eggs are either hatched already or incapable of hatching. That makes things confusing when schools have "no nit" policies, and only nymphs and adult lice spread. Abandoned egg shells and dead eggs (often after using lice shampoo) cannot spread nor bite. However, there is no way of knowing by appearance whether the eggs are viable or not.


Insect eggs proper name?

I guess it depends on what type of insect you're talking about. For instance, eggs of parasitic insects are called Nits. However, I believe this only applies to lice or creatures in the same sub-species.


Does lice shampoo kill the eggs?

No, not all of them, this is why a comb comes with the kit, to remove any eggs that remain after the adult lice have been killed. If these eggs are not removed, reinfestation is likely to occur.
