A few years ago my kids ran into the worst case of lice I had ever seen. We treated each child, parent, and every inch of our home repeatedly for weeks. Even though my oldest son’s hair was barely an inch long, he still had these horrible bugs embedding themselves into his scalp. I couldn’t understand why they weren’t going away. I was picking them out with a fine comb and treating them according to the directions on every over the counter treatment I could get my hands on. While Super Lice wasn’t on the forefront of the media yet, I’m certain that is exactly what we ran into. These lice bugs were resilient to everything I was trying, and even continued to move about on my child’s head while the treatment was being applied.
The result of this super lice strain meant lice treatment had to change! Twenty-five states are reporting super lice this year and the chances of yours not being on that list are slim! No matter how clean your home, nor how impeccable your family’s personal hygiene, super lice infest without prejudice. As a mom who has battled these tiny beasts, I can tell you, it is important to know what WILL work on them. Knowing how to treat super lice quickly will spare your child pain, ridicule from their peers, missed days from school — and everyone else in your household from chaos!
Nix® Ultra System is a safe, non-toxic, and pesticide free over-the-counter remedy specially designed to kill both traditional and super lice, and their eggs. The solution is made up of 4% dimethicone and mineral oils. This solution coats and covers both lice and hair, creating a slippery surface. The lice can then be removed by the Nix® professional metal comb.
One box of Nix® Ultra will provide up to five treatments on short hair, or two treatments on long hair.
The Nix® Lice Tracker
This Back-To-School season, Nix® is launching the first-ever and only data-driven lice tracker, which is a tool for school nurses and parents to report lice outbreaks in their area as well as track infestations. The Nix® Lice Tracker uses IRI data from lice product sales, along with crowdsourced data from school nurses and parents and Google Trends data to track lice outbreaks. School nurses and parents will be able to populate the Nix® lice tracker when an infestation occurs at their school or in their community.
