A Typical Experience with Head Lice

An excerpt from Head Lice Removal Made Easy by Karen Tilley

Each year approximately 10 to 12 million Americans and 400,000 to 600,000 Canadians and will be affected by the plaque of head lice. It will be mostly young children and their mothers. The standard treatment choices are metal combs that rip out the hair, and head lice pesticide treatments which parents often find don't work. Repeated applications of different brands occur, but still the lice persist. It is a nightmare for the mothers and every one involved.

When most people get head lice, parents run to the drug-store and buy pesticidal lice treatments for the whole family, and an aluminum-type comb. They put the pesticides on the whole family ("just to be safe"), and then use the aluminum comb. They quickly discover that the comb pulls out their child's hair in clumps, breaks the hair, and does not remove nits well at all. The child is being hurt (tortured) by the combs' hair-ripping out action, and soon won't let Mom come near her with it.
Mom then puts away the 'lousy' nit comb, and starts removing the nits ( the lice eggs) by hand.
This 'nitpicking' takes hours at a time, and often goes on for months or longer.
From the first application of the head lice pesticide, Mom noticed some live lice still crawling, seemingly unaffected by the poison.
But not knowing what else to do, Mom reapplies the second treatment in 7 to 10 days. Then she buys and applies the next pesticidal product onto her children and so on and so on.

It never dawns on her that she should be wearing disposable plastic gloves when she is putting on a pesticide onto her children's hair and washing it out.


She buys many different nit combs and while some are better than others, they don't remove many nits at all.
Eventually she will go into a health food store and try tea tree oil, and the products there.
The bugs will persist.
All the while, Mom has been continually washing the sheets and the clothes, and has put the favorite toys in garbage bags for weeks or has even thrown them away.
She has been doing excessive laundry and housecleaning, trying to rid the bugs. She is exhausted and desperate.
She may even be so desperate as to spray Bugspray on her child's head: even that does not work.
(Don't do it!)

Hot water bills are skyrocketing from all the washing. The children are being ridiculed and treated cruelly at school. And Mom has no one to help her with her own infestation. The family feels ashamed and mortified.
Mom is truly at her wits end. Mom is doing everything she is told she is supposed to do, but the lice and the itching won't stop.

I know this, because I myself did lot of that, and I have spoken to countless women who have told me what they have done.

I am here to show you HOW TO NOT GO THAT ROUTE. I would like to be your light holder, and show you the way out of the darkness of the plaque of head lice.

We are fighting "Super Mutant" bugs.

The normal situation these days, now that Super Ninga Lice are about, is that mothers spend literally hundreds of dollars on head lice pesticides and months (sometimes years) in a living ongoing nightmare, battling the bugs.
When you put a dollar figure on the time Mom spends battling head lice - it can run into many hundreds or literally thousands of dollars.
