What happens if you have dead lice?

If you have dead lice, it means that the lice have been killed by either a lice treatment or by natural causes. Dead lice are no longer able to reproduce or cause any harm, but they can still remain in the hair or on the scalp. It is important to remove dead lice and their eggs, called nits, to prevent further infestation. This can be done by using a fine-toothed comb or a lice removal comb to comb through the hair and remove any remaining dead lice and nits.
