Dear Nurses/Health Educators, You've probably heard reports that most head lice found in the U.S. now carry a gene mutation that makes the pesticide in standard over-the-counter lice treatments such as RID® and NIX® ineffective1. As a result, you will be on the front line when frustrated parents start asking what they can do to eliminate head lice. To help you keep parents informed, we have teamed with the head lice experts at LiceMD® to produce a convenient resource sheet that summarizes recent reports about the pesticide-resistant strain of 'Super Lice' and corrects the common misconception that it can only be eliminated with prescription treatments. Available in English and Spanish, this downloadable handout clearly and effectively communicates what parents should do if they suspect that their child may have head lice. It's important that parents know there is no need to panic, and no need for prescription treatments. LiceMD® Pesticide Free is the only top over-the-counter pesticide-free product that eliminates 100% of head lice and their eggs, including 'Super Lice'. We encourage you to download this free resource sheet today and send it home with your students, or you can send it directly to parents as an email attachment.
