Seeking Out Effective Lice Treatments
Lice and Nits are pests that no one ever wants to deal with, but when faced with the problem people tend to seek out the easiest solution possible. In such cases, perhaps ironically, they find themselves throwing so much money at the problem simply because they are blinded by the fact that lice and nits are present in their lives and must be destroyed at all costs. It is during cases like these that scammers, claiming to effectively treat lice, take full blatant advantage of people.
Such companies charge an outrageous hourly fee – sometimes $60 to $120 per hour – with complicated orders saying the patient “needs” multiple treatments. They add insult to injury by forcing the patient to use remedies that are uncomfortable, potentially dangerous, and might not even work in the first place.
Professional lice treatment can be done for a flat rate and in most cases within a single hour. And this lice treatment is guaranteed to be successful. The professional lice removal experts at Lice Busters charge a flat-rate of between $150-$200. Think about that for a moment: you get one simple treatment that is successful and all at a single, flat-rate.
If ever you find lice have invaded your life, be sure to research carefully and know that Lice Busters are there to provide effective lice removal.
Young girl left with horrific burns after toxic lice shampoo ‘set her on fire’
A young girl was left fighting for her life with severe facial and head burns after a head lice shampoo burst into flames in her hair.
Jodie O’Donoghue, now 10, is still having treatment following the incident back in 2007. She had the Prioderm product in her hair after her parents treated her and her 12-year-old sister Jasmine for a head lice outbreak. As she blew out a candle at the family home in Tipperary, Ireland, the lotion ignited, setting her hair, cheeks and ears alight.
The flames spread from Jodie’s forehead to her hair, cheeks and ears – leaving her with terrible injuries.
Her dad Phil, 45, frantically tried to put out the flames, eventually having to douse her head under water.
Jodie was then rushed to hospital for specialist treatment. Her mum Nichola, 44, said: “Jodie was only seconds away from burning everything on her face. Any longer and she would have lost her eyes and her whole face would have been gone.
“Her sister had the same Lice Treatment on her hair and the same thing could have happened to her. It was awful.”
Jodie, from Tipperary, Ireland, was kept heavily sedated in hospital for six weeks while doctors carried out agonising treatment including skin grafts.
Nichola said: “Her ears recovered but all of her cheeks and forehead had to have skin grafts.
“They took the skin from her head so they had to shave her hair off. It was horrible. This was my little baby girl. She was such a beautiful girl people would swoon over her. She was absolutely perfect.”
Nichola also revealed how Jodie suffered from taunts about her injured face.
She said: “Originally her face looked like red candle wax. We couldn’t go into a shop without people staring, pointing and even shrieking. Every time we went out I felt like I was being stabbed in the heart.
“Luckily her features have recovered and her eyebrows and eyelashes have grown back. She does have an area where the hair has not been able to grow back, but this is hidden by hair that falls over the top of it.”
Jodie, who is now ten, is still receiving treatment six years after her ordeal in March 2007.
And her mum said: “Only now has she been able to talk about what happened.
“She couldn’t look at any pictures of her face. She has been through so much. It is so difficult for her to talk about it.
“The worst place to have a scar is on your face. She is so lucky that the rest of her face will heal.”
It is not known what caused the fire to break out on Jodie’s face. But Nichola has started legal action against the makers of the Lice Shampoo– winning a production stop of Prioderm.
Nichola said: “I want them to take responsibility for producing such a dangerous product and to compensate us for our costs in her treatment, our trauma and for Jodie.”
The manufacturers of Prioderm, Reckitt Benckiser, told the Irish Daily Mail yesterday: ‘At the time of the incident, which we understand was in 2007, Prioderm was part of the Seton/SSL portfolio which was later acquired by Reckitt Benckiser in November 2010. ‘There are no safety issues with the product when used in accordance with the instructions.’
How to Prevent a Lice Reinfestation
Lice treatment is a big enough ordeal on its own. But having to worry about doing it again is not something you want to deal with. Reinfestation can happen and all it takes is just a few lice to do it. In fact, a single louse can lay up to 100 eggs in 30 days. It is very easy to have a reinfestation occur, so you need to take steps to keep this from happening.
First, you need to examine everyone in the family, even those who didn’t have lice the first time you caught it. You want to make sure it didn’t transfer to anyone. Secondly, do a thorough washing of all clothes, sheets, and any other fabrics that may have come in contact with lice. With hot water and detergent and then a high heat run in the dryer, the high temperatures will kill lice that may have still been on these items.
Soak brushes and combs in extremely hot water to kill off any lice or nits. It may also be a good idea to just fully replace your combs as well as get a hair cut to not only help the hair grow healthier again, but to make looking for lice and dealing with any further lice treatment a lot easier.
Lice and Nits
Head lice are a fairly common problem for parents with young children. The treatment is oftentimes a nuisance because of the fact that they lay up to 10 eggs (called nits) a day and these are approximately the size of a pin point. The nymphs are more of a problem in this case than the matured lice.
But there are effective and safe ways to rid yourself and your child of these pests. Some lice products may contain unhealthy chemicals that are tough on your hair and scalp, but Lice Busters only provides all Natural Lice treatment. The lotions, prevention sprays, and hair thickener are all made with hypoallergenic ingredients and natural enzymes that target and trap the lice, making them easy to comb them out with a metal lice comb.

Head Lice Prevention Tips and Products
Head lice are a real pain to take care of once you get an infestation. That’s why it’s important to take the precautions to prevent them in the first place. If you or your children have been informed that lice are spreading in schools or in the neighborhood there are things you can do to avoid catching them.
Lice and nits spread most commonly from direct contact– loose hair and hats contract them. If your kid plays sports it is best to buy your own helmet and body protection equipment rather than sharing. And this rule about not sharing pertains to everything– no sharing combs, hats, scarves, or hair ribbons within or outside of the home. And always disinfect your stuff.
You can buy a Lice prevention spray from Lice Busters if you want to be absolutely lice free. Tightly wound hair is another way to prevent it– the lice can’t grip on hair if it’s not loose enough. And although this lowers the possibility of attracting lice, short hair is always the best. They need enough space to move around and if you have short hair they are less likely to call your scalp home.
Of course sometimes even the best attempts to avoid the problem aren’t enough. If you still happen to catch these pests, then your best solution is using Lice Busters all-natural lice treatment products.
Nits: Ticking Lice Bombs
Getting rid of lice is easy, but keeping lice at bay is something else entirely. Lice eggs, or nits, are much smaller than lice making them harder to comb out. Since they are physically attached to the hair they are harder to dislodge than full-grown lice. Many people think they have gotten rid of head lice, and they have, but the eggs stay and hatch creating a whole new generation of lice to talk their place.
Lice and nits respond to different types of treatment so you need to make sure any lice remedies you use eradicate both. Lice use special chemicals in their saliva to glue their nits to your head. Many remedies use harsh chemicals that make the hair so dry the ‘glue’ doesn’t hold. Lice Busters natural lice treatment instead uses a specially manufactured comb with fine tooth pins to remove lice and nits from the hair.
By using a remedy that removes both lice and nits you ensure that the lice do not return after treatment. Make sure to also inspect hoodies, jackets, pillows and hair brushes for lice as that is another way they can re-infect you and your family.
