SUPER LICE ARE KEEPING US SCRATCHING

How did these lice become "super?"  Lice have become resistant to the over-the-counter treatments. The lice can not only survive, but they can also grow stronger. These stronger lice then get passed from kid to kid and over time become completely resistant to chemical treatments.

And this is exactly what parents are seeing now. In a new Harris poll of 2,000 U.S. mothers, about one-third said they were able to treat their child's lice with just one application of an OTC product. Sixty-eight percent reported that treatment required two or more applications or that no over-the-counter treatment resolved it.

So what should you do if your child comes home with lice? Don't panic. Super or not, there are ways to get rid of these creepy critters. For starters call Lice Lifters of Chadds Ford.  Our technicians will put you at ease and give you all the information to tackle that pesty lice problem.
