See link: This is a really good link: http://www.Askdrsears.Com/topics/childhood-illnesses/lice. Also see your doctor. If the nits are more than 1/4 inch away from the scalp they are probably dead and just need to be combed out.

Pickling vinegar: Soaking/rinsing the hair repeatedly with a stout vinegar solution can weaken the attachment the nit has to hair.They can then be combed out with less effort using a fine nit comb.It is important to get every nit.It may take several sessions over a week to get them all.
