The Value of the AirAllé and Lice Clinics of America

For years, the only head lice removal remedies were to manually go through each strand of hair “nit-pick” and/or comb out all of the lice and lice eggs (nits). Head lice have been around since the first reported humans and even Cleopatra was buried with golden lice combs. More recently, head lice shampoos, over-the-counter treatments, and prescriptions from doctors were introduced as effective solutions to dealing with head lice.   In most cases, they were very effective… until they weren’t.

Pesticides in traditional store-bought lice treatments only kill 25% of lice because they don’t kill today’s pesticide-resistant super lice, nor do they kill the lice eggs. It’s up to you, the parent or caregiver, to comb out the lice and the nits which can require hours of combing for days or even weeks! This means a ton of work for parents and caregivers.  If even one nit is missed, the cycle can start over again and you will have an active infestation back in 3-4 weeks.

Some parents/caregivers strip the bed and wash sheets, pillowcases, and pajamas. However, this doesn’t necessarily kill lice. Lice can hold their breath for up to six hours, so running them through a wash cycle or jumping into a swimming pool doesn’t mean the lice will drown.

“We had a couple of parents who came to us after trying the hot iron and blow dry on their children. They accidentally burned their children’s scalp as those are very hot. Other parents even throw their favorite toys away when they were at our clinic.” says Jackie Huynh, owner of Lice Clinics of America – South San Francisco.

All while this is going on at home, your child is enduring discomfort and potential embarrassment or bullying at school. And let’s not forget the hours of combing through their hair.

“It is important to stay ahead of lice since a mature female louse can lay between 50 to 150 eggs during their life span,” says Jackie. “It is also important to know that topical treatments don’t kill lice eggs. If you do the treatment at home and don’t comb out 100% lice eggs, they will keep hatching new lice. The vicious ‘lice cycle’ continues on and on.”

Because there are so many eggs laid, you can get caught in the lice cycle for weeks, months, and in some rare cases, years. Over-the-counter treatments are effective, but after a few weeks of purchasing and re-purchasing them, and spending hours combing and cleaning, the costs add up.
