Once dislodged, a louse can survive only around two days because it won't have a source of moisture or food. A louse will survive less than this in colder climates and if it hadn't eaten prior to its being dislodged. Head lice understand that separation from the environment they need for survival means death so they do what they can to remain firmly attached to the head. That's why it's unlikely you'll find head lice on furniture, clothing or surfaces other than the head.

Lice may live for several weeks on a person, but they rarely live more than 48 hours when removed from a person's body. See similar questions...

A head louse lives on average 30-days after it hatches from the egg. Eggs take around 7-days to mature and then hatch. Newly hatched head lice are fully mature in just 7-10 days. Therefore, most are active in your hair for about 21-days. See similar questions...

A female head louse produces about four eggs per day and a total of about 88 eggs during her lifetime. See similar questions...

Well I guess that depends on who you talk to--Most farmers who are in the egg producing business will say 2 years. Those who are in the meat producing business will say 6 months--Those who keep birds as pets (with names) or who are not interested in maximum production of eggs, will find that chickens can live up to 8 or 10 years.

If future science can repair freezing damage and other cryopreservation damage − along with disease damage and aging damage − future science should also be able to grow new, improved bodies. Heads can be stored at much less expense than whole bodies, so there is an economic incentive to store only the heads. Also, heads can be cooled and perfused more quickly than whole bodies, and are therefore vitrify more readily − resulting in better cryopreservation. See similar questions...

The egg is called a nit and is glued to the hair strand. If you see a little white blob in the hair and it won't budge when you try to slide it down the hair shaft then your child has "nits" or a case of head lice. See similar questions...

No. Head lice very rarely fall from the head. They require blood to survive. Head lice feed 3-4 times a day and without blood, will dehydrate in 6 hours in a dry climate and 24 hours in a humid climate. An egg requires warmth to hatch and is the reason why they are laid close to the scalp. The further away from the scalp, the less likely they are to survive. See similar questions...

Nicotine is processed very quickly- it will exit your body within a day of its consumption. However, this rapid metabolism also causes nicotine withdrawal symptoms to start the day you quit. Fortunately, these symptoms can be controlled with nicotine replacement therapy or will resolve on their own within a week. See similar questions...

The part of the scanner that takes the pictures is located in the center of the scanner. Therefore, in order to do a scan of your head, most of your body must slide into the scanner for proper positioning. The same is true for other studies of the spine and upper extremities.

Creating a picture which uses features from two different pictures mixed together is called a photo mix, but this is not the focus of Morpheus Photo Warper. In order to create photo mixes, you would need the functionality of Morpheus Photo Mixer or Morpheus Photo Animation Suite. See similar questions...

Yes! We would be happy to switch heads and bodies...even parts of bodies. For example, the head from that Hornet, the wings from another Hornet, the feet from the Pioneer and the jersey from the Hawk. Just tell us what you'd like and we'll calculate the price for you. See similar questions...

Although HIV can survive outside the body for a few hours in certain bodily fluids, it cannot function when dry. The Virus cannot infect some one unless it enters the body. See similar questions...

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4?C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years. See similar questions...

Anytime you connect something to your helmet you will lose some mobility. Mobility with Isaac® occurs in two stages. The first is the natural movement of the mechanical connections and the rollers on the belt. This is adequate for most racing — checking mirrors and flag stations — and is equal to, or better than, what you would get with other products that are tightened enough to perform as well as Isaac®.

You'd think that would be a simple question, with a simple answer. Unfortunately, every source I've found gives different information: Britanica Online says the lifespan of a domestic cat in captivity is 21 years (in context, this seems to be the maximum age of the vast majority of otherwise healthy cats!!!). The Tidycat website once indicated that the average Russian Blue lives 18 years (I couldn't find a reference to persian lifespan). On the HomeArts Ask the Vet website, Dr. See similar questions...

The average life span of most giant breeds is about 8-10 years. I know of Danes living to 10-12 years, but right now unfortunately that is the exception rather than the rule. There are a few health problems which afflict the Great Dane breed: growth problems (HOD, PANO and OCD), hip dysplasia (OFA and Penn-Hip tests), and bloat/GDV/torsion are primary concerns. Wobblers, thyroid problems, and problems with the eyes (CERF test) also appear in the breed. Se our HEALTH links for more info: See similar questions...
