A nit is a louse egg. If your scalp is extra itchy, get someone (maybe even a "nitpicker" to check you for nits.
There's no getting around the fact that nits are pretty gross — they're basically baby lice. Nits can be tricky to spot on an infested person's scalp, because they're smaller than a grain of rice and a very pale color. Colloquially, to "nit pick" is to find and criticize someone's faults, no matter how tiny they might be. Another, less disgusting kind of nit is a scientific term for an amount of light emitted.
