Can lice poop remain in ur hair after there gone ? and after treatment ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not poop: Lice poop should not remain, but the tiny lice eggs can. That is why you need to use a lice comb to get them all out after you do a treatment to kill off the adult lice. If the eggs (called nits) are not removed then they will hatch and give you more lice.
