The CDC says permethrin does not kill nits. How can this product then claim to kill nits?

This product uses a low voltage that you can't feel. It shocks the lice to death. I'm not sure about nits, as they havent been born yet. I'd use a nit removal cream. Having explained that...the product is non returnable, and mine came not functioning. I have no recourse to get my money back or a replacement. It seems, by the comments, many people have this problem.

Do I have to remove the nits? I can’t get them out even with the comb

Yes, you do. To remove the nits, I bought and used a professional lice comb set because the provided comb didn't have micro grooving on its teeth for effective nits removal. Anyway, Nix is a great treatment option.

Ive tried, spent hourssss combing, but cannot get all these nits out..first treatment worked to kill off bugs, but will the missed nits hatch?

You have to make sure all the nits are gone it’s a pain but do another treatment in a week and a week after that. Check every night for nits you missed. Good luck.

How does Nix Ultra kill eggs (nits) exactly? I’ve read multiple sources that say nits can’t be killed by suffocation because they do not breath.

Any eggs/nits that are 3/4 days old won’t die because they dnt have a neurological system yet, so it’s better to treat hair again in 7-10 days for any eggs that might have hatched since the first treatment. Hope that makes sense.
