• Nits on the Hair

  One female louse deposits approximately 60 to 150 nits to hair shafts or crawls onto the body to feed (corporis). Nits survive by ingesting blood from the human host. A louse bite injects a toxin into the skin. [quizlet.com]

  These lice feed on human blood and lay their eggs (nits) in body hairs or clothing fibers. After the nits hatch, the lice must feed within 24 hours or die; they mature in 2 to 3 weeks. [basicmedicalkey.com]
