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.
How do you get nits?
Nits are the eggs of head lice that are usually found attached to individual hair strands close to the scalp. They are typically contracted through direct head-to-head contact with someone who has head lice. These tiny eggs can be difficult to see as they are small and blend in with the hair.
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.
Why do you check your head for lice if exposed?

How do you remove nits from your own hair?
You can get rid of nits with a nit comb.nit combs usually come with lice shampoo which you can get at wal-mart.
Can you use a nit comb if you don't have nits?
No, the combs remove the adult head lice but not the "nits" which are their eggs, which they stick to the base of the hairs. So if you have nits, coming out the adult lice will not remove the infestation as more lice will hatch out from the nits. As well as combing the hair you need to kill the nits with some proprietary medicine.

A hat will not stop you from getting them. If you share the hat they can be transferred to your head from someone else.
