Head Lice: What Are Nits? Nits alone, without live lice, are not contagious. In fact, no-nit policies enacted by schools (meaning that if a child has any nits at all they are not allowed in school) are unnecessary and counterproductive. Studies have shown that children with nits but no lice have only a 20% chance of infestation. No-nit policies lead to unnecessary pesticide exposure, days of missed school, and missed work for parents. If there are nits but no live adult lice, comb out the nits and wait to see if any come back.

Where Do Lice Come From? Let’s first get the elephant out of the room: lice do not come from animals. They are transmitted ONLY between humans. The human head louse is an ectoparasite, which means it lives on the surface of his host. It is an insect that lives on the human scalp and feeds on human blood. The entire life of lice is spent on the human scalp. According to research, head lice have been spreading among humans for thousands of years.
