FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beware the Super Lice! That's the headline on news stories from many of the largest media organizations today.
Dr. Kyong Yoon, who has researched pesticide resistance in head lice since the 1990s released an update showing that head lice in 83 percent of the states he sampled—including California —now have gene mutations making them resistant to pesticides in the most popular lice shampoos.
Parents around the country are no doubt slapping their heads and saying, "So that's why I couldn't get rid of my kid's lice infestation!"
Lucky for them, there is Lice Clinics of America, a professional lice service that kills head lice with heated air using AirAllé, a patented, FDA-cleared medical device.
"Nine out of ten patients who comes to our clinics has tried some sort of OTC lice shampoos," said Elsa Nguyen, owner of Happy Heads Lice Treatment Center, a Fremont based lice clinic. "They can't understand why the shampoos don't work but nurses and pediatricians still recommend them, but they sure are happy when they leave here an hour later, 100% lice-free."
