    Glossary Pseudonits

    particles resembling lice eggs but aren't actual nits

    Pseudonits are particles or debris that resemble the eggs (nits) of head lice but are not actually lice eggs. They can be dandruff, hair casts, or other scalp debris that can be mistaken for nits upon visual inspection. This distinction is important for accurate diagnosis and treatment of lice infestations.
