The paws of insects are arranged in such a way that they can easily move only through the hair, which is why they do not occur on other parts of the body.
The life expectancy of an adult parasite is just over a month. Every day during its life the female lays several eggs - nits, she fastens them to the hair shaft with a special sticky substance. If the treatment is not started, larvae appear from the nits in 5-7 days, which immediately begin the meal with human blood. When the third molt remains behind, insects are considered adults.
