Can head lice be drowned in water?

Simon Wong

Head lice are well adapted to moving through the hair and have hooks that they use to latch on for dear life. In the water they are exactly the same except they also close their breathing holes, which they are able to do for half an hour. To drown head lice you would need to submerge your head in water for up to 8 hours. You have as much chance of catching lice in water as you do in any other environment where the hair can fall out with the nit attached.
