Life Cycle

A very simple LIFE CYCLE OF THE LOUSE (egg, nit, lice)

 The life cycle of nits to head lice is very important to understanding re-infestations.
Mature females lay 8-10 eggs per day Eggs or nits are glued to the hair shaft by the insect The egg/nit takes 14-20 days to hatch.

Note: It is at this stage when the nits are maturing into nymphs that people think they are rid of head lice (no itching) and then they hatch.
Newly hatched nymphs need to find a human blood meal quickly.
They then sprout legs and reach maturity within 7 days of hatching.
The mature adults then reproduce and create 8-10 eggs per day for 30 days and it all begins all over again.     HENCE the cause for itching or no itching.
Dont be blinded by the fact that there is no itch. During the egg/nit cycle there is no itching and not all hosts ever itch.
