Do nits make your hair fall out?

Nits, which are the eggs laid by head lice, do not directly cause hair to fall out. However, the irritation and scratching caused by lice infestations can lead to hair breakage and loss. Additionally, if the scalp becomes infected due to scratching, it may contribute to hair loss. Overall, while nits themselves don't lead to hair loss, the consequences of an infestation can affect hair health.
