[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the combs are not good enough to get the nits. Order the Terminator comb from Amazon, if you can. I think the nits are also basically impossible to see. The easiest way is to wipe the comb on a white cloth after each wipe -- the nits are tan or grey and will show up as little specks on the cloth. It may be that you got the lice before they laid nits -- they need to be a couple of days old before they can lay eggs -- or it was a male or a not-pregnant female. If you can go 8 or 9 days without getting any lice, you are probably safe, because they eggs hatch within 6 to 8 days (although you can still find nits after that, they are dead egg sacks that aren't going to hatch).
