Will lice come back if nits were removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Re-exposure = return: If the egg casings are removed & the adult lice are killed the normal cause of recurrence is re-exposure to a source. Some lice have developed a resistance to common rx and repeat rx or changing rx is sometimes needed.
