How soon can you see lice eggs?

My ex is dating a woman who has 3 small children..well yesterday he informed me they all have lice. Now I might not know much about lice but I know it doesnt take one day to kill them..Anyways He took my son today and Im so afraid of my son getting it..I know he might happen to get it sooner or later but now that I know my ex's "kids" had it I want to prevent it..So how soon after being exposed to someone with lice could it show up? And also if the kids have it is it 100% my child is going to get it?

    It usually shows up a week after someone is exposed to lice. It is not 100% because I have been to many sleepovers where almost everyone had lice and I never once got it. But be sure to keep a close eye on him. Hope that helps. :)
