• Do you actually believe a school nurse has 30 minutes of time to do one childs head. This is parental responsibilty.Also where are the supposed dead lice being blown

• Anonymous I would have to agree with you. Just like any other illness a child might have that would be contagious to others, send that child home to the parent. Is this product have a seperate container that blows the lice into..if not you are just spreading something that easy enough to pass on without the help.

• I'm not saying that it's not the parents responsibility but come on...I've treated my daughter 5 times in the last few months and she keeps coming home with Lice...the schools have to take some responsibility. If ONE child doesn't get treated or ONE lazy parent doesn't do their job then it will continue to happen. cv.

• I have to say that this device sounds like it could really do some good. I know that some feel that this type of thing is normally the parents responsibility but why not let this device help. It sounds much easier to use than the shampoos and the haircuts and it is a lot faster. This device won't even hurt the child, my pre-teen kids think that it would be better than the other ways.
  
  Sounds good to me...

• Parental responsibility? What's that? My cousins kept getting head lice... not because my aunt wasn't de-lousing them each time, but because some other stupid parent kept sending her kid back to school to spread the bugs around. Unfortunately, we have to take care of the dumb people we share the planet with. 30 minutes in the office for one kid (instead of a continuous cycle of creepy crawlies) sounds like a good trade-off.

• I think then if a child gets infected a second time, or a primary note home is ignored, the school should perform the 'dry-out', and send a bill for services performed home.

• I think any remedy that is non toxic is worth a second look!
  We use an all natural shampoo that actually repels head lice. My kids have been in classes where ALL the students EXCEPT them ended up getting head lice.
  
  If schools purchased this perhaps they could use it in special cases where the reoccurrence rate is high?
  
  Or maybe it would be a good investment for a beauty salon & schools could recommended it to parents.

• Being a school nurse who has worked with my fair share of chronic cases of Head Lice the problem with the suggestion that this is used in our schools is that we are not allowed to treat children for head lice or any other issue, we are only able to pass the information on to parents and check the hair (in some schools they aren't even allowed to do that). Secondly if a child is treated yet continues to be infested it is usually due to the entire house not being cleared of lice (just shampooing and getting nits out of the hair is not enough) and not that they continue to get them at school. Especially older kids as it takes personal contact to get lice like sharing hats, brushes etc... They are not spread by sitting next to someone who has them. There is so much mis-information out there about head lice I am amazed at how many well educated and well meaning parents are clueless as to what needs to be done to fully get lice out of your home once they have been introduced to the home. For some great info check out the national head lice association at www.headlice.org

• First off I'd like to say homes don't get lice people do.So these comments about parents not doing what they are supposed to are being made by ignorant people. People who probably think their families could not never have or get lice. But it's those people who don't know what they are looking for that usually have it and claim they don't. Then their kids go back to school to reinfest others who are being tormented over and over because of 1 careless parent.

• this is ridiculous sometimes parents fight them over and over i personally have been fighting them for almost a year trying EVERYTHING and they ONLY affect my one daughter and i have three of them that share brushes etc. tried ALL the treatments over the counter including name brand and store brand only thing i found worked was "nit picking" literally spend hours picking nits and lice out seems that they DO get immune to the poisons lotions and potions on the market even the natural remedies SOMETIMES its NOT the parents fault its the fact that you cant get rid of them by conventional methods!!!
