<unk>  louse crawling on a hairbrush<unk>  comb (Bug Buster) wet combing with conditioner for diagnosis and treatment.<unk> <unk>  can be seen in foam. The condition is diagnosed by finding live<unk>  in the hair. Finding empty eggs is not enough. This is made easier by using a magnifying glass or running a comb through the child's hair. In questionable cases, a child can be referred to a health professional. However, the condition is overdiagnosed, with extinct infestations being mistaken for active ones. As a result,<unk> -killing treatments are more often used on noninfested than infested children. The use of a louse comb is the most effective way to detect living<unk> . With both methods, special attention should be paid to the area near the ears and the nape of the neck. The use of a magnifying glass to examine the material collected between the teeth of the comb could prevent misdiagnosis. The presence of nits alone, however, is not an accurate indicator of an active<unk>  louse infestation. Generally, white nits are empty egg casings, while brown nits may still contain viable louse larva. One way of determining the nit is to squeeze it between two fingernails; it gives a characteristic snapping pop sound as the egg bursts. Children with nits on their hair have a 35–40% chance of also being infested with living<unk>  and eggs. If<unk>  are detected, the entire family needs to be checked (especially children up to the age of 13 years) with a louse comb, and only those who are infested with living<unk>  should be treated. As long as no living<unk>  are detected, the child should be considered negative for<unk>  louse infestation. Accordingly, a child should be treated with a pediculicide only when living<unk>  are detected on their hair (not because he/she has louse eggs/nits on the hair and not because the scalp is itchy).
