Q.Head lice produce tiny eggs (nits) which appear as white specks or as dark specks on the hair.

A.True. Nits are sometimes easy, sometimes difficult to see on the hair. A clear nit usually indicates a nit that has hatched. A dark plump nit indicates a viable nit. However, there is a broad range of what nits look like and people often mistake simple dandruff or debris for nits.
