Superlouse- A mother’s yearlong battle treating lice with Nix- and RID!

Are American head lice becoming more resistant to treatment? At Lice Lifters we say yes because this mother’s story is one we hear every day.  Traditional OTC treatments do not work.  Lice Lifters offers a non-toxic heated treatment that works in one quick treatment and all-natural The Nit Nanny Product Line.

The mother bought Nix (what she used growing up) and figured that would be it. It wasn’t. A few weeks later, the lice were back and so was she, doing the same drill with a different box. October was Nix. November: Licefree. (Or so she thought.) December: RID and the electric “Robi” comb, which claims to “detect and destroy” lice on contact. January brought still more lice, skipping among our four children’s heads and hers like six-legged swingers, and a return to RID. In February, we tried Lice Lifters and that is what worked.

Today’s lice are tougher. Their exoskeletons are thicker. They hatch and mature on different schedules than they used to, wreaking havoc on established treatment directions. They have grown so resistant to Nix and RID that after only a minimum of Internet research she felt like a fool for bothering with either. Despite the increasingly desperate measures of defeated parents across the country, lice can’t be “suffocated by home products,” either—the theory behind common home-remedy efforts to douse heads with olive oil, mayonnaise, or conditioner—but then, they never could (as rigorous testing, reported in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing, showed).

For safe non-toxic, pesticide free treatments go to Lice Lifters.  Our trained technicians will put you at ease.  Find a Lice Lifters Treatment Center near you. http://www.licelifters.com/locations.html The Nit Nanny Products are always available http://www.thenitnanny.com/productsandprevention.html
