Hol@ mate!!!! Here is ur ans....
=>>Female adult lice can lay up to six eggs every day. Eggs are laid right onto the shaft of hair. Those that are less than six millimeters from the scalp are most likely to hatch. The eggs are essentially glued on to the hair by secretions from the female louse.
=>>The eggs take about a week to hatch, producing a nymph. The nymphs then go through three successive growth spurts. During these spurts, they molt until they reach adult size.
=>>Adult lice are about the size of a sesame seed and can be very hard to see, because they can be any color from white to tan to brown.
=>>Lice typically feed on blood four to five times each day. They use their mouth parts to bite into the skin and secrete a substance that acts to block clotting.
=>>While it’s important to note that lice infestations can happen to anyone, some people are at a higher risk of coming into contact with lice.
