If the Nuvo method does not kill the nits, how can it work?
The Nuvo method cures head lice infestations by disrupting the life cycle of the lice. The lice are all killed before they can lay any more eggs. The Nuvo method is used in three applications. The first application kills the crawling lice. The second application, one week later, kills the lice that have hatched in the interim. Because it takes a louse about 10 days to become sexually mature, the newly hatched lice cannot lay more eggs. A third application kills any remaining lice that might have hatched after the second application.
