LAKE FOREST, Calif., Aug. 21, 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.
"Nearly every person who comes through here has tried the name-brand lice shampoos first" said Rosemary LaBonte, president and owner of BlowOut Lice Removal, a Lake Forest-based lice clinic. "They can't understand why the shampoos don't work, but they sure are happy when they leave our clinic lice-free.
